>>>>>>From: "Virginia Tupper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The truth is that in most cases the solution lies within the rider and nowhere else. Ouch! I didn't think I was that bad of a rider!<<<<
If you own enough horses, you learn that is NOT necessarily true. There are horses with different personalities and tendencies within each breed, and the breeds theselves differ greatly. It depends on someone's skill level, and purpose. >From my experience, you can either waste your time and money on an inappropriate horse, or get a good one. I.e., why would beginner riders wish to endanger their lives with a high strung, highly bred performance horses that can take several years to perfect, when there are, say, calm, reliable mustang crosses that would just need a few hours of training? Many times I have bought beautiful horses with wonderful gaits that I quickly sold when I realized they had an unacceptable flaw; maybe liked to stomp dogs, or were lazy. Rachel from E KY
