Hey Beaker.

I'm with you on liking the smaller horses better:).

Harley is a great horse, probably the best trained/behaved horse I've ever owned, besides deadhead Rocky:). But I wish he wasn't as tall as he is. I feel like I"m looking down from Pikes Peak on him, and I know he's really not all that tall. Rusty has done more goofy stuff then Harley, but I'm still more comfotable on him. But I realize it's a mind thing.

Now a horse that hangs on the bit...I wouln;t like that at all.

How many hands is Rusty?
My arms are still sore. My whole body is sore. At first that I thought that she was hanging on the bit because I had the reins too tight, so I let them out,and she went around the ring dragging her nose on the ground. (And I mean almost literally) She's a tough horse to ride. She goes and stays forward, but she doesn't like to stop. And sometimes she raises her head way up in the air and throws her ears way forward like she's going to spook but then giggles and doesn't. And sometimes she goes around the ring easy as you please and then tries to take off. It's always an entertaining ride.
