Oh, but even that gets complicated, Janice! Sina is a fairly energetic little mare, but there are times when she can appear lazy...and those times are mostly because she's uncomfortable in some way. She's not one to buck, but I'm sure some horses would have bucked, where her preferred protest is to stop and plant her feet, "stubbornly" refusing to go forward. If so, would that horse be bucking because he's lazy...or because he's uncomfortable? I t would sure be easier if they could talk. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
