A little more good news about T-breds.  I have a 16.2 mare that I use for Therapeutic Riding.  She never takes a step out of place when I have my students on her.  And I can get on her and she is ready to go.  I love her to death and no amount of money could get her.  So go on about the T-breds.  Happy riding  Kellie
