So glad I am not the only one offended by the idea that a horse is "ONLY" for 
trail or 4H. I have news for this boob- just about ANY horse can be trained 
ot trot about the arena on a rail, but that same horse is no prize out in the 
unconfined trails. Secondly, I would rather die a 1000 deaths rather than 
sell a horse to someone like this who has such contempt for the time and 
effort put into MAKING a child's mount AND with such a LACK of respect for 
either the horses or his children. We say NO frequently to  people liek this 
who come to buy a horse and/or breed their mares to our stallion. It has cost 
us a LOT of money in the last 15 years, but not as much as it would have cost 
our horses to be donated to such ignorance. Sorry, but this type of person 
has no business having a horse.
hmph!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,,, THEY WOULD J U S T BE FOR TRAIL.  WHAT DO YOU THINK IT
TAKES TO MAKE A GOOD TRAIL HORSE?? THAT IS OFFENSIVE TO A PERSON WHO SPENDS
THEIR LIFE AND LIVELIHOOD TEACHING CHILDREN AND HORSES TO BE COMPATIBLE ON
THE TRAIL AND IN LIFE.
