FW: [RC] ginger for horses? - Rusty - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFOh my gosh, Kathy!! I know exactly what you mean! My mare is exactly the same way. I've tried everything to relax her, slow her down and get her to retain her 'marbles' but sometimes, it just ain't gonna happen. I'm just trying to love her the way she is (which I do) but it sure would be nice to drive a Ford instead of a Ferrari sometimes. =) (my mare comes from the racing lines [Sambor] . . . and it shows). Lol Carrie Kathy wrote: I think the worst dis-service the show arena has done for the horse is to breed for high over-reactivity. My one horse does not need ginger up his tail, nor cocaine to look wild-eyed and tail-flagged - he's like that naturally a lot of the time, and I cant' stand it when he's like that! And he's bred for show-ring. I spend a lot of time and money for him to act and look like a well-behaved calm horse. I like my older horse's breeding better - they are innately smart and don't lose their cookies.
