Yes Keith...much better than those Arabs!  Alot closer to the barrel and fast enough to beat a couple of QH friends who for some reason won't talk to me any more!  ha  Mine was so calm going in that no one thought he'd run.  At poles, I accidently lined him up so all he saw was one pole, so when I kissed to go, he turned and looked at me like "WHAT?"  Had to move him over a bit so he could see all of them.  Then off we went.  Had a blast.  Thought I might give him a whirl at team penning...if I can get him in an arena with a cow!
