    Oh, X can be stubborn at times too ...... but he's such a willing little 
guy you HAVE to forgive him and love him .  Arabs ARE terrific!!!
 > How are you riding/training X?
    I've been training him since he was a baby -- he rides Western OR English 
(he really looks better English but I ride Western) AND he drives.  We have 
an Amish Carriage (2 seater - fringe top and all) that he pulls like a pro!!  
My hubby drives him.
    I believe that if there were someone here who knew how to jump, X could 
do that too.  He's really an all around horse !!!
