I confess, I too, thought Tivar showed good sense in his decision not to walk on tin. Seems like it could not only be sharp, but could have roofing nails in it. And, it's not something one encounters on a normal trail ride. Here in Southern Oregon, the Bureau of Land Management uses a backhoe to make big deep berms when they de-commission old log roads. When I first nought Hunter, I was looking for a way to get from a section of trail to an old log road and I rode him up to the top of a berm so I could look around. He just stepped over the edge (unasked) and went down the steep wall and up the other side. I thought "well, I have me a mountain horse". I have not, however, asked him to go down a vertical bank again ... well, maybe once more. Nancy
