Re: [RC] Stallions - Bill Johnson

Hello David,

 Which ride?

the owner led him past us, shouting "watch out, stallion coming through". The 
horse was not just frisking at the end of

(who have ridden, but only rental horses) and I felt safer diving for cover 
rather than just giving the stallion space.

definately NOT the gentleman that Jim Prueter's horse is, or the noisy mostly 
gentleman that Denise Hayes' old horse was.

well-trained stallion, but IMHO a stallion that is that barely under control 
has no place in a public place where it is way

DM> Flame on,
