No problem. I'm also hoping to get feedback for anything I've missed. Of course, we'll each have slightly different priorities, and that's expected. I also hope maybe the buyers of the list can work backwards from my checklists - maybe these lists will jog their memories for things to look for or ask about when they are shopping for horses - whether or not they value exactly the same skills that I value. I KNOW I'm not raising horses that will be suitable for everyone for every sport, but this is just what our priorities have been. Karen Thomas, NC
