Karen.

It was more like "An endurance ride with a mare is a 50 ( 100 mile ) 
negotiation." You don't tell my mare what to do - you asked her and then 
you talked about it and then you go and get it done. My wife and my mare 
did not get along. Neither wanted anything to do with the other - it was 
actually pretty comical to watch (but don't tell my wife I said that).

Give me a mare any day. The geldings I have make good "beer drinking 
buddies,"  but if I get lost in a 100 at night and my life depends on 
getting back, give me a mare any day of the week.
