[RC] Thoroughbred - Nancy Sturm

Oh come on you guys.  Admittedly, it was before I'd ever owned an Arab, but
the TB used to be my breed of choice.  I've owned some very nice horses,
including one which  came off the track and did combined training events
and cutting - how's that for a combo?

I especially liked the off the track horses because they usually had the
most wonderful ground manners.   They had been everywhere and had
everything done to them.

And, yes, there were some crazies.  I've seen nuts is just about every
breed, including Welsh ponies, but we don't equate an entire breed with the
difficult animals.

Kat actually RIDES a TB in endurance, so I hardly think she is anti-TB.
Me, I had a TB once. Craziest damn horse I was ever around, and 16.2 to 
boot. Trust me, no one wants to be on a horse that tall with no wits 
about him. It's a long way down from up there. I was waiting to see who 
was going to get killed-he wound up flipping out in his stall and 
almost killing himself. Do I think they are all like that? No, but my 
experience was so awful you won't find me owning one.
