Thank you Kay, you have to be related to Robin Williams or Billy
CrystalI love your sense of humor. You always make me smile.
With that thought process in mind,...I watched my husband, (the person who
refuses to accept that " X " does exist) - riding one of our own Fjords the
other day - trotting about - the horse decided to throw in a little buck -
utilizing that "leap" movement at the very appropriate time - he pushed him
into a very lovely canter - the hind end right under him - and maintained a
rather impressive three or four rounds on the rail in my outdoor.
I once heard a term used for selling a clumsy horse - "yes he has three
gates "start, stumble and fall".." perhaps with what I just observed -
we can say some Fjords are three & 1/2 gated " walk, trot and with a
buck/canter".
All horses, are different in how they learn and how they accept, treasure
what you have.
In humor,
Pat Holland
