I'm curious what you mean by "more heart than brains". There's a man up in Washington state with lots of experience using TWH's for saddle horses, long horseback trips in amazing wilderness areas and endurance. He thinks they're not the smartest horses he's been around.
I can never telll if Hunter is brilliant or a little slow. He sure learns some things. Part of the ride Saturday was quite rocky and we were pulling up to a walk every time we came to rocks. It didn't take long for him to start slowing down on his own when he saw a rocky stretch ahead. He also knows I prefer racking downhill to trotting and will switch on his own. Nancy
