Well,Hiya'll! (and Good Morning PNAMBC, I know it's been awhile!) Thought I'd post a general query to the thread. Wife & I occ. talk @ getting a horse. On another thread, FReeper "racehorse" mentioned the Kentucky Mountain Pleasure breed, some can go for upwards of 150K (expensive!). I had been considering a Paso Fino, having gone to school in the old days with a breeder. He told me a story that stuck with me; about how he "picks up" the young horse after birth, so that "human larger than horse" is imprinted....

Anyway, is the gait of the Kentucky Mountain similar to the Paso? (We wanted an 'easy ride', and nice temperment). What a cursory search of the Kentucky's temperment revealed is that they're a mighty good-natured & intelligent breed. I don't know, maybe that's breeders talking/selling? How do the two breeds' temperment compare. I 'assume' there's variations within each breed....

Thanks in advance! FReepers are the best.

Good morning all. I have hardly been posting lately. Hope all you mad horse freaks are well and happy and so are your animals.
