You can't beat us - we have 2 that were free (actually 3, but one will never
do a ride).

Of course, if you look at it the other way, the 2 "free" horses we just got
are worth some $$ - the little one didn't know basics, so after 2 months at
the trainer and dentistry, she's now a $1100 horse, and her mother is
$250... TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (or horse)...

       this might be a fun thing to do.  just for starters,  use the price
that you paid for your horse, the miles ridden on that horse, and come up
with a cost per mile.  :-)  lets dont even count cost of tack, equipment,
upkeep, etc., etc., because that could get real crazy!   and remember,  i
said just for fun!  truman,  i can almost smell the sawdust burning!  :-)
i paid $100 for my horse, and he has 510 endurance miles.       ed


============================================================
Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
