Re: [RC] [RC] appys - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...Spanish had not especially selected for those coat patterns until a later time frame. But the traits existed. The Nez Perce likely got hold of a few that HAD the trait, and they apparently liked it, as they were one of the few Indian tribes that practiced..." This account of how the Nez Perce got the spotted horses, fits much better with the general spread of horses and horse using in N. America. The through Canada, which implied Fur traders, and more specifically implied British fur traders just seems to have to many holes in it. Indeed it was a tragic loss to endurance when most Chief Joseph's horses were prevented from breeding on.

I know that a lot of people like to get finished, and get it over with. Yes, it is a lot of work. But, realize that each ride, especially a 100 is a really special gift and savor it for all it is worth. ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
