Gwen,
Thanks for your post... You are correct, I can't blame my horse's
conformation on his great grandsire! Wasn't trying to insult anybody's
bloodlines. I, too, think Khomytt will do fine on the trails. Even with
long pasterns, I'm not going to "retire" him without giving him a chance. I
appreciate your input on Bask & Khemosabi ! Good luck with vet school (and
your board exams.. lucky you! <VBG> ).
Regards,
Shannon
