 you'd like to know that my new 2 year old Red Fjord and I went on our first
 trail with another woman and horse. The seasoned trail horse, quarterhorse,
 spooked 6-7 times, my horse, Redford never spooked once.  I've only had him
 under saddle 7 times or so, always in an arena. Guess I got the horse I
 wanted, calm steady and strong.  Sure love this new bred. Sheri 

How wonderful, Sheri! I know what you mean. My trainer  I took my guys out 
on the trail for the first time last week. They were alert, but never really 
spooked. The only problem (an a funny one at that) was the tricks they pulled 
to try and eat grass. They'd mosey over towards the side of the road, slow 
down, look to see if I'm paying attention, then DOWN goes the head. Once I 
recognized the signs of this, I could stop it right away, but I do believe my 
arms are a bit longer : )
