I always enjoyed the looks on other riders faces when I fox hunted.  My
"field hunter" was an exquisite 14.3H gray Arab who was gelded at age
6.  He had presence, flash, the scope to jump anything out there, and he
<easily> kept up with the warmbloods and TB's.

I had numerous offers to buy him to become a "pony hunter" for the
folks' kids, but I kept him until he passed away.  He was a "big" horse
in presence, stride, and most improtantly in attitude!  My 16H Arab
gelding today could not have kept up with him!
