what I am trying to do these days... I try to ask myself: is it good for horses and people for me to say this. And of course sometimes I smart off trying to be funny and maybe regret it, but I am trying to make a gerater effort and trying to be more helpful to people and horses. We have a wonderful opportunity here to really make a difference! We have seen it with walking horses! We shut down rthe WGC last year! for the first time in a 60 year history! So i try and say what I think needs to be said and if it bothers someone but is better for horses then oh well, get over it. But its not good to be nasty because then you lose an opportunity to attract bees with honey and not vinegar. and then also I notice: sometimes when people start arguing the whole point gets lost behind the argument! Does anybody on here think dropped, tight nosebands are a good thing?? if so, state your case so i can argue with you sensibly :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
