Kewl descriptions!

I think of my Akhal-Teke mare as a road-rally car.... really fast, 135 degree
turns on a thought, short turning radius so can spin donuts in place without
getting dizzy... gets up to speed and maintains speed well, good gas mileage.
Audi Quattro V8 turbo, 5 speed, All-wheel-Track. Great for long road trips,
too, especially the teeny backroads with lots of twisty-turnies.

My hunter-weight TB is like my Explorer....  great utility vehicle, not much to
look at, but a heart of generosity and just keeps going and going and going....
Great in traffic, excellent sightlines, other cars just get out of the way.

My new TB mare (a gift.... me or the knackers)...  Last seaon's Lexus that
proved too much for a driver that needs to drive slower before she drives
faster.  This one will take some detoxifying to get the sugar and alfalfa out
of her system, and doesn't need someone to ride the brakes, the clutch and the
gas all at the same time. Private closed-course driving until further notice.
This one gets a helmet and five-point safety harness, plus a roll-bar, lol....
