Re: [RC] Mares as Riding Horses - Chris Paus

Yup! So far, I've resisted the temptation to breed my
young mare. I'm having so much fun riding her , not
only do I not want to lose the time, I don't want to
lose her! I've been doing this long enough to know the
terrible things that can happen during foaling. So
far, I'm not willing to risk this mare to that, even
though her conformation and attitude are superb and
probably should be passed on!

I just want to enjoy her, she's so much fun to ride.
And yes, she has a tremendous amount of heart and is
so brave. She's been willing to try new things in half
the time it would take me to talk a gelding into it!

And, of course, if you don't want to even lose that
much opportunity for 
competition when riding a mare, you just don't breed
her.  I don't see much 
of a problem with that!
