the older style horses are not so hot, or if they are hot, they're not
dangerous. -just very very happy on occasion. I've raised my kids riding my
broodmares and I wouldn't breed anything the kids couldn't trail-ride or
joust on. That's part of my
performance testing.
Same with us. All of our horses, INCLUDING our stallions, must be
versatile, kind, rather bright, and gentle, even in their more spirited moments.
I agree - we wouldn't HAVE a horse we could not take down the trail with a
junior. We had a few in the past...temporarily:).
