Re: [RC] Need Nice Horse - Sky Ranch

Why on earth do you keep riding these horses?  I'm sorry, am I crazy, or are these dangerous horses to deal with?  Maybe I'm just chicken, but I like riding horses that are sane, smart, like to be ridden, are not foolish, and do not buck, rear, or shy wildly.  I can honestly say that my horse (an Arabian, by the way) does not do any of these things.  If he did, I seriously doubt I would still have him.  For one thing, I don't have health insurance so I can't afford to get hurt if I can avoid it!
 
I hope this doesn't seem overly harsh, but I just don't understand why anyone would willingly keep riding a horse that acts this badly.
(Should I put on my flame suit now?)

Doimas, as you may well know if you've read any of my previous posts, is a wild beastie.  He spins, twirls, kicks up his heels, leaps in the air, all sorts of very acrobatic maneuvers.  He's the easier one to stay aboard.>
