When my 4-H club had a booth at the fair, about 10 or so years later, I posted the old clippings. It was a booth about barn safety. So, many people came by and stated that they remember that fire.
I was going to mention before how much I like Harley's cute little ears. My Appaloosa had big ears, and people made fun of him. I always said "you don't ride the ears"..lol
LOL:)
It's funny, I've noticed that ears are something a lot of people notice on horses, any horse. I swear Rusty had nice shaped ears, but lordy they were long:). When I first got him and he was so under weight, he looked like a donkey.
I guess because ears on horses are just so visible is why they are noticed so much, but your right, they shouldn't be a factor if the horse is a good riding one:)
