Exactly. I know we are all humans and can't help but have our personal biases on "prettiness" and within reason, it's not a big deal - as long as we keep it in perspective. Eitill no doubt has the ugliest head on my farm - but he's also about the most in-demand riding horses here - and he's just "boring old black." I can appreciate a pretty head or nice color, but it really doesn't matter to me while I'm riding. Karen Thomas, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED]
