Possibly it has to do with the fact that they are not trying to balance a rider's weight as well as their own. My Line is terribly stumble footed when ridden, but only stumbles occasionally when being driven. It's forgiveable though, considering her age. Naaman has mentioned that he thinks Fred's horse would make a better driving than riding horse because of his build. I agree, but unfortunately we have basically nowhere to drive a young horse around here. I would never trust them out on the road when young, and that is all we have here - unless I'm working them on logs and such, which I also will only do with an older horse. I value my life too much. Oh well, maybe we will move after we retire - ha, ha! Mary === Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
