This message is from: Shawna B. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerry had a lot of good points here in his post... I love a lot of the imagery, it was clear and easy to understand, and he made a few points about how horses that are stalled most of the time lose the ability to move freely. It's a Duh thought, but not always one you think about. PS. Horses don't have the brains to hate catering SORRY,, had to put that one in here. Right, but that doesn't mean that they do not hate cantering with a human. I watched an experience barrel racer mare rolled over onto her side by an inexperienced rider. That mare was a bear to get beyond a trot with any other rider for the next three years that I knew her, because a rider had thrown her over. Horses that hate to canter probably actually hate having to balance themselves and us. Try throwing a backpack full of water balloons that weighs 5% of what you do onto you back and go for a run, you'll get the idea. Also, just like humans, some of them have better balance that others. The better balanced ones are more comfortable hauling us around. Shawna The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

I just sent a Fjord from Vashon Island, Washington to the Missoula, Montana area. Good folks, excellent communication, good price. This was the third time I've used Hubbard; always good. LA, SF, Seattle, and points East along I-90 particularly, to KY. They don't necessarily go to the race tracks for layovers; they have facilities near the Western Wa. track (Emerald Downs) in Auburn, and other such spots. Nice rigs, air ride, etc. Best of luck shipping your friend up to BC!
