I have never forgotten a broadcaster's comment during the Los Angeles
Olympics 3 day event. He was referring to Mike Plumb's handling of his horse
who needed to be babied around the course and said "Mike makes all the
executive decisions" This was what was going to enable Mike to get the horse
through the cross country course safely and withough wearing the horse out.
I have tried letting my horse chose his own gait and his own pace and it
has't worked out for me. Now I also make all the executive decisions!
