Again, you described it very well, and intriguingly.... almost as well as you
did in your book.  But I still find myself pulling away from the thought of
standing stalls.  I couldn't use them...  There are a lot of very good
horsemen and women who DO use them, so I'm not knocking them.  

Maybe it's because I'm projecting my own needs on the horses.  I like to have
plenty of space to move around in, resist being tied down, insist on my
freedom and personal space, and love to roam.  

Anyway, there are so many different ways to care for horses.  As long as
they/we are all happy and healthy and benefitting from our various ways of
horsecare, that's the bottom line.  I enjoy learning how other people do
things, even if I follow a different path.  I particularly love to hear how
the horses fare up in Alaska with the -55 degree weather and moose, etc.
