Around here there are a few people that have a span of Friesian horses. In summer when you go out into the surrounding country site you can run in them quite unexpectantly. I'm always astounded at how great they look in front of a freshly polished coach. Then again when I see them as riding horses they don't look quite as grand but still pretty impressive. Another horse around here is the Belgian coldblood. Amazingly it is still rather widespread. Some of the farmers use them to do haycar rides and short trecks to local attractions in summer. Some even use them on the farm to work the land. When Tom is a little older I'm going to take him onto a treck. I hope that he'll love it. Personally I'm into big horses. The bigger the better. Getting onto them is hell but most of them have such gentle personallities. Sonja Did some riding on our holiday in Spain last summer. Felt like hell for a while afterwards but rediscovered why I loved horse riding so much. Unfortunatly it is way to expensive to continue anytime soon. Major bummer. Ah well there is always next summer..... _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
