    I personally feel that at the lower levels the schooling shows are more rewarding.
    They are much mless expensive and they are easier on the schedule. One day, in...

    Maybe it's because the rules themselves are flawed.

    he can do way more than just novice.

    I think I like him.
    The picture angles are wrong. I think maybe his pasterns look poor due to shoeing and hoof trim.
