Thanks Ann - for your note on Longing. I am always grateful to hear that other people have experienced the same problems - I tend to think woe is me, I`m the only one, my pony hates me etc., etc. You mentioned different cultures - I have noted that people here in Germany - horseowners in particular - hardly ever admit that they have difficulties with their animals. In the past when I have spoken to others about my pony`s temperment on the longeline most people just look at me and go "oh. that should never happen. don`t let that happen." And of course, I would just loooove to scream !!! So, thanks for your honesty !! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark and Ann Restad [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Mittwoch, 19.
