We have a daughter of his, and she's awesome! Here is a little article that I wrote about her last year with a pic: http://home-n-stead.com/homestead/homesteadingarticles/ naturaly_natural.html and here's a pic with her winter coat (scroll down) http://home-n-stead.com/about/blog.html My daughter is continuing to lightly ride her this year (she's 3 and my daughter is 85 lbs). She sometimes uses her to go fetch the cows at the back of the pasture (1/2 mile deep), and she has a ball. She often rides her around with nothing at all on her head. Last week, my daughter was picking berries at the back of the pasture and suddenly had to go potty. She jumped on Lina and cantered straight up to the house without anything at all. She's a lot of fun, but she can also be a real stinker if she's mad about something... she seems like she's part mule :-). For example, my daughter started a new horse recently and it seems as if Lina is very jealous. She acted rather nonchalant, but the first time that my daughter went to ride her again she played all kinds of naughty tricks. Her intelligence and perceptivity is unlike any horse I've ever known. She's not afraid of anything and loves to trail ride.. hates to turn around to go home, like she's looking forward to seeing what's around the next bend. Meg
