and then there's the horse that will probably NEVER be really sane in a
group - they do exist and I own one. Tony is hot by nature and the idiots
that owned him before me yahoo'd him for a few years - it has taken 3 years
of techniques like those mentioned for him to be just moderately manageable
and controllable in a group.

I recognize that and work around it. I am all for training for situations,
etc etc etc but there ARE times when you gotta work with whatcha got. For me
that means one of two things - keeping out of crazy group situations like a
start or hoping like h*ll that I can hang on long enough to get off if I get
caught in such a situation :-)

Tina and Tony - who will propbably always be one of those checking in with
the timer and then heading back to camp for few minutes
