He studied under Tom Dorance and those other savvy horse trainers. Personally, I think it is a load of poo because growing up my Shetland pony was all attitude and oneryness which was so very unlike my sweet personality. :DRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904348716444211746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4127063223404008364.post-79660588459965502732012-01-15T20:06:53.348-07:002012-01-15T20:06:53.348-07:00I didn't know that people said that about hors...I didn't know that people said that about horses.
