So, is it fair to say that those are your criteria: level headedness, brains, bravery, and gaits? Do I assume correctly? All equally important to you? Since you own his mom, how much of her do you see in him? (In other words, do you think this apple fell close to the tree?) What's she like? Have you spent a lot of time with his dad? That's the odd thing about Ima - I just barely got to meet her dad before he bred Bjola, so I don't know him nearly as well as I know Melnir and my mares. Can I ask any more questions...? Hope I'm not being too nosy. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
