 You left out much pertinent information such as age , training, and prior
 use. These are very important as to how one would proceed. Oh, I forgot, has
 the turnout been on a flat grassy pasture, 7/24 or with some stall time,  or
 in the rough hills like mine and has this animal been by itself or with
 other horses? >>
I better unload this question - she is 12, has been pastured for 6 to 8 
months, completed 3 50 milers and TT in one. She was pastured at the 
foothills of the Sierras so she roamed on hills daily. she has excellent 
legs, clean bone and is a very clean mover - efficient and elastic - no 
wasted movement. She is well trained and is going well in the back pasture 
with my daughter. Her gaits are all well developed and she knows her 
transitions. she crosses water directly - no training seems to be needed - 
just conditioning. Her RHR as of last week was 36 - her 3 minute recovery 
after 1 mile is 68 - not bad for an out of shape girl!

she goes out with others and alone equally well - no stress here! Goes in 
about any headstall even a halter! she is about 15 hands with a solid body 
build and excellent front end as well. 
Is that better, Bob?:)
