yes I am satisfied, and I have gaited horses of varying breeds and a very high percentage of them came to me as absolute heathen renegades. No one could be more satisfied with a horse than i am with jaspar, a walking horse, and anyone would be hard pressed to find a better horse--- but in my first year riding him I broke 14 bones and I am very stiff and gimpy from it. Would I do it over again knowing what i know now? I probably would not. I know its hard to believe I would give up the wonderful relationship with my jaspar, our bond, but knowing horses the way I know them now, I know I could have gotten a nice well trained dead broke horse for the same price and I wouldnt be sitting here with aching knees, permanently knobby and bent fingers and toes and double vision problems. soooo. yes, satisfied. But I would just like to save others several trips to the emergency room if possible. buy domestic. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
