Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Breed bashing

I didn't take this as bashing, just silly fun.  We all spend plenty of time
poking fun at Arabs, too.  "Peanut pushing" is supposed to be a joke.  Every
horse, every breed, has its good points and its not so good ones.  This all
started when someone commented on the jokes that some western riders were
making at the expense of the Arabs.  I think endurance riders are more
sensible than to criticize other breeds just because they aren't Arabs.
