Reading these posts has been helpful. The longer I have had Lars, almost a

responds to me. I have done more off of him than riding him. He use to crowd

I really don't see the difference. If the horse is under saddle, there should

Hey Brigid, I guess I did use some emotionally-charged wording in that post
which really wasn't necessary. Sorry about that.
