-------------------------First, boy is that picture ugly! It's hard, but here's my thoughts on it - be the bigger person. Don't answer with venom back. I know that people want to defend themselves when verbally attacked (boy, do I know that!). But if you stoop down to their level of beratement, then you are getting as pissy and petty as they are. That doesn't resolve anything. Janice - you have a blast with your horses. You enjoy them, the bond with them, and enjoy them for their individual personalities. If someone wants to berate you for that, they are the ones who have a problem, not you. Everyone has their own individual way of riding and working with their horses. As long as you aren't hurting your horse, what the heck does it matter??? Dawn Bruin-Slot, northern Michigan Fuzzy Logic Equine
