I’m Canadian, but thanks anyway.[/QUOTE]
So Canada is on the continent of Canada now is it? 
As for the name…well, yes, you may be a bit overly sensitive. I was in the “special ed” class in HS and the name doesn’t offend me. If anything I’m quite touched that they chose to name the horse that. Anyway, all the cool people went to special ed.
In mayhew’s defence, I think the post she was referring to was edited to be North America from America. I think.
Ah, I see. Thanks! Sorry, then, Mayhew. 
Nope Sorry I corrected a spelling error I noticed after reading a reply. In looking back I guess it is close to the next reply so it looks like I changed content.
I neglected to enter reason for edit…it should be “spelling error”
Not that any of this stuff matters anymore anyway.
SOB
I remember how that name took me by surprise the first time I saw it! But then I heard the story about how he really was the son of a bitch: according to his rider Anna Hasso his dam was an incredibly witchy, difficult, yet talented horse. SOB was apparently quite an improvement in temperment! :winkgrin:
Yes I did a bit of a double take when I first heard Ed’s name too, but it can go both ways and I think he’s definitely “special” in whatever way you care to interpret it! When I was at Spruce two or three years ago, a couple of teenage girls beside me were quite amused by the name and were giggling and laughing up a storm. Anyway, what’s in a name and Ed’s certainly a success story now :yes:!
