Laney, congrats on your new kid!

I had TWHs before I had Arabs, and I'll keep my Arabs...just choosing  
the comfortable ones (they sure aren't all jackhammers) and putting a  
big splash o' Lipizzan in there for substance and sanity.  ;-)

Ya gotta shop so carefully for the right TWH, it's very difficult to  
find the good'uns.  I had a TWH from a week old who was hotter than  
any Arab, and my other one got very competitive if another horse was  
along.  Lots of "want to" from both of 'em.
