Yep, my Amish’ed gelding was awesome with dogs, kids on bikes, machinery, tractor trailers, etc. He was spookier about bush whacking and long grass touching him. LOL!!

I am sorry Beverley. 
Should I take it down? It is a terrible movie really.[/QUOTE]
Nah, I was kidding. I didn’t think it was terrible, but then I’m from Texas. Recently passed through Marfa and stayed overnight at the Hotel Paisano. Did not go whole hog and book either the Liz Taylor or the Rock Hudson suites but our room was lovely enough, and it was if memory serves the one Dennis Hopper and Earl Holliman shared.
Before the WB era, Bill Steinkrause said that a TB/Saddlebred made the best jumpers. They are very flexible in their joints.
[QUOTE=Willesdon;7227533]
Thank you, those are interesting to see. It also begs the question, probably not here, why Saddlebreds are not used more in eventing? Seem to have a really good attitude.[/QUOTE]
Me, me! I lost him this summer to colic, but I had a National Show Horse eventer. He was 75% saddlebred, 25% arab. Very catty and springy, tight knees, could jump anything anywhere. Dressage was less than stellar, but boy want he fun to go cross county. Please forgive horrific equitation of his rider

He started foxhunting at age 24. Miss him lots.
Saxy
Many years ago when I rode the Seneca Valley String of hunt horses regularly, they had a Saddlebred named Saxy. He jumped like a deer and his extended trot was faster than most horses could canter. He was wonderful in the hunt field. He was also one of the most coordinated horses I have ever ridden. I was out hacking one day with my husband and I was riding Saxy and my husband was riding Gotham. Gotham has a bad habit of sticking his nose in the lead horse business and keeping it there. My husband was letting him to this to Saxy all afternoon. Finally, while galloping a line with Gotham again being impolite, Saxy double barreled him without missing a beat or my feeling the kick. The move was smooth as glass. Needless to say, Gotham backed away after that and kept his nose to himself.
It was the only time I every saw Saxy kick another horse, but Gotham did deserve it. I wish I knew if Saxy was still alive and where he is. Gotham is living the life of Riley as one of our horses now.
The first event horse I purchased as an adult was an ASB - I hunted him a couple of times as well and he was fantastict. Unfortunately, he was retired at 9 due to making an incomplete recovery from EPM. Sprite was great fun to jump:
I had several friends who evented full- and half-ASBs…which is how I ended up with one in the first place
X-rab…Seneca Valley as in Gordon and Ann in MD? (later VA)
Beverly
Correct. My husband and I bought Hank and Gotham shortly before Anne retired. Hank will be 28 in January and Gotham, who knows. We can’t read his tat.
