Our Twist was a harness horse and has been a trail horse for a really long time. He is the closest to bombproof of any horse I have ever owned. When our daughter Abby owned him, she went off in the barnyard when Twist spooked at his reflection in the shiney surface of a parked car. This is one of the "problems" with extremely phlegmatic horses. She was fiddling with her gloves or something, paying absolutely no attention to her horse. Abby is very slim and athletic, works out at the gym several mornings a week. I was surprised at the struggle she had learning to post to the trot ... that would be until I rode Twist. She claims that if you can ride Twist, you can ride anything. Nancy
