The question becomes "am I willing to live with these quirks?" No one else in my family likes to ride Smokey, as he has scared them to the point of saying "no". I, on the other hand have learned to understand and either deal with, or ignore these behaviors. For me, his positive attributes far outweigh any negatives.<br /><br />I understand that OTTB's come with a completely different set of challenges. I have a great deal of respect for your willingness to accept Bar, and your courage to continue working through those challenges. And remember, it's no longer a race. You can progress as quickly or as slowly as it takes.Dave (aka Buckskins Rule)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764864394651709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32796999.post-53506751820031937932010-03-07T10:22:13.644-08:002010-03-07T10:22:13.644-08:00Some people just don't get it...you & Bar ...Some people just don't get it...you & Bar obviously have a connection.
