"I agree completely. The first 3 I owned were totally show ring quality but the brains were not there to go beyond that. They were hotter than any Arabian or TB I had ever ridden and so aggitated all the time. Of the 3 only one had any potential of…"

"I'm so glad you didn't give up! They are worth the wait. Yes, it is hard to find quality horses suitable for trail out there. It is sad... a breed that started out as a work horse suitable for the show ring seems to have turned into a show…"
