It makes me crazy when people buy horses because of its color or pedigree. Every horse is potentially dangerous just because of its size, but there are ways to judge a horse's nature and temperament in relation to safety. Everything else is secondary if kids are involved.

A few years back I went horseback riding at a stable down in the Ozarks of Missouri. The trail we were on had some extremely steep slopes, and the horse I was on kept stumbling and slipping on rocks and twigs as we were going down. I was sure that horse and I was going to go rolling down that hill at any moment.

It scared the crap out of me, even though these were trained horses and they had walked the trail many, many times before.
