<< Look what has been done to the quarter horse by the "big players" to where they look like dejected hang head miseries. Ahem. Jean Gayle Wash. state. >> What a beautiful post Jean! I've got a beautiful palomino quarter horse mare in the middle of our fjords. And even if I were into showing, we'd never come away with any medals. I let her mane grow long, and I let her carry her head naturally. To me she is much more beautiful when flowing, moving the way she was meant to. When we bought her she was one of those tiny stepped head hanging horses. We had a trainer work with her on natural head carriage. She started to get it. But the first time I got on her, she dropped her head and started rolling those peanuts, almost like she was showing me what she had been trained to do. Brought tears to my eyes. She still needs some work, well a lot of work, but she is making progress and is actually beginning to enjoy her work, instead of looking like a whipped dog. Pamela
