Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [RC] Help, New Horse... Need Some Hints!

I really don't want to be rude, but this post has basically nothing to do 
with endurance riding and really really doesn't belong on ridecamp. I'm 
sorry, but stories about horses chasing milk cows around is making even me 
think that everyone who can ride is out riding and the people left in the 
room really like dogs better.

Could you please just lurk for 4 to 6 months before you begin asking 
questions. read the archives for awhile. Again, I really don't mean to be 
rude, but this post is just not in the spirit of ridecamp - its really not 
about endurance even tho you taked a fluffy wind-puff question in at the 
end.....its really about horses chasing dairy cows around. maybe you should 
post it on a dairy cow list??
