Re: [RC] bloodlines - Chris PausAttitude is a lot of it for sure! I have a 4Yo mare I'm trail training. She's taking to it like a duck to water. Put her in a show ring and she comes unglued. Put her out on the trail, either alone or in a crowd, and she's a happy camper. chris --- larry Miller <jcmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Attitude. Don't forget the horse's mental attitude. No matter what the bloodlines (my favorites have Raffles, CMK, old Egyptian), the horse will not be good at going down trail if it doesn't like it. Mental attitude says alot. The eye, nice chest, and wide behind are some of the things I look for. Amazing but all my guys have had some Polish, Raffles, Crabbit, old Egyptian for the most part but the number one thing is that they all liked the job that I asked them to do.
