Thanks for the vote of confidence, but on Tivar's willingness to go out alone - I don't think we can take credit for that. I have a feeling that's just his innate personality. About all I can claim is that we didn't do anything to squelch what was naturally there. He and Sina (two of my favorite all-time horses) both have that trait, and I give them credit for having been born that way - both are eerily intelligent and very curious about the world.
