Re: Paso Finos

Since you addressed my reply,

>> What I was
objecting to was the absolutist character of Heidi's statements, as well
as the condescending reference to "if it is your goal
to complete rides on Pasos, by all means go for it.  But if your goal is
to advance as an endurance rider..."   as if  "advance" only meant being
number one in the world.<<

Here was your opening line in your original response to Heidi: 

>>Excuse me, on *six*  horses, you make these kinds of conclusions?  I
doubt that there's enough of a database of this breed in your experience
to make any kind of accurate judgments and at the very least it isn't
very scientific!

That's not a friendly rejoinder in my opinion.  It's argumentative. 
It's possible to discourse in a friendly manner online even if we
disagree.  It's harder to do so without being able to soften words with
facial expressions.

>>Finally, Jerry says:  "With messages like yours, it discourages people
from posting their own
EXPERIENCES or opinion."<<

No, Lynn-Marie, I said that, not Jerry.  I'm not trying to dissuade you
from posting, you're welcome to be concilatory, and end this.  These
posts are viewed worldwide, and responses need to be carefully
considered before transmission.
