Those 25-30 mile circles are quite common out here and in the great basin. If you still have some horse left under you at the days end, it always is a good thing and a horse to keep around awhile. I like a horse that keeps your attention and has enough athletic ability to do whatever you need to do. If that keeps your toes light in the stirrup so be it. To me, that is much better than a pony that quits on ya or is useless towards 5pm. Lots of horses simply need lots of wet saddle blankets and it's amazing what their potential is!  I won't keep a mean, man hurting idiot around. But i'd rather have a horse with plenty of spirit and try, even if that means i gotta top the kinks out of them come a morning.  That's my story and i'm stickin' to it! :wink: When you have a nice bunch of two year olds coming up Tumbleweedtexan, give me a whistle. I'd love to try a nice gelding and color doesn't worry me unless it is solid white. Only good guys get to ride a white horse! :shock:  :???:  :lol:  :lol:
