i think thats true Kim as far as KMSH and RMSH but I have noticed Mountain Pleasure horses seem to be bigger, larger boned, and mostly a color with a cream gene whereas KMSH and RMSH are black base, silver dapple, bay, black, liver chestnut (SD bay) etc. I think the Mountain Pleasure Horse has some different foundation DNA in the mix maybe? I just know I have never seen a 17hh RMSH or KMSH and I have seen plenty of huge Mountain Pleasure horses like that but i am probably generalizing again :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
