Thanks. She's a good mare, and we do a little combined training competition. We get busted in dressage, but we usually make it up on cross country and stadium jumping. She's a splendid natural jumper who can both rate herself and respond to rating from her rider. She could be faster (despite her racing blood (War Admiral and Northern Dancer) she couldn't catch cold if you spotted her three furlongs), but on course she gets a little excited and she's just about right.

LOL I don't blame her. Who wants to run around a track anyway when you can run over hills and jump fences? LOL. It's no wonder she looks so good with those thoroughbreds in her pedigree.

I had a shot about 10 years ago to go to a three day event farm where they taught you how to ride in those disciplines. It was in Santa Rosa, California. I should have went there instead of the farm in Sacramento. Now I am in Texas LOL.
