kept wondering what I was doing wrong.  I finally figured out the common 
denominator: I love a horse with a blazing fast trot.  Each of these
horses either had, or developed a very fast trot, even though three of the
four
were only 14.2 or 14.3 hands.  The fast trot was achieved by tremendous reach,
thus hyper-extension leading to injured suspensories.

	Just want to say how much I respect Barbara for her willingness to share
this kind of hardwon experience with the rest of us, for our benefit and
that of our horses.  I think it is hard enough for most of us to admit
mistakes and learn from them--to generously offer the knowledged gained to
others, without ego or excuses, takes an exceptional person.  Thank you,
Barbara!
