Now, you tell me he wasn't smart enough to realize he would crash and burn 
if he made a bad move then.  He only chooses the safest places to play his 
games, and this is why I think he does it for entertainment value.  I've 
ridden him on some extremely steep mountains, more or less straight up. 
I've ridden him across creeks with slippery rocks underwater.  He is very 
careful then.


The horse I am riding now was probably someone's project horse.  He came to 
me with so many issues that I went around for a couple of weeks kicking 
rocks and muttering, "I have made a HUGE mistake."

But you could be writing him in your description above.  For all of his 
ground handling issues, he is the handiest safest horse I have ever ridden 
over tough terrain.  If he slows way down on a steep descent then I know 
that's how he thinks it needs to be done.  He takes very good care of 
himself.  I'm not real sure he cares a fig about me.

I used to tell one of the gals I was riding with a lot (her horse was a very 
solid citizen)  "your horse does not want to fall off this trail any more 
than you do."
