Bill, I often wonder who learns more, the teachers or students? I took responsibility ( and half ownership) in a badly abused Morgan Stallion with desireable ( and rare) bloodlines.Trouble is, he wanted to kill anyone that came near him. Two weeks in a pasture ( he was locked in a dark 12x12 box stall for 6 months), and we were running up to the fence to throw hay to him. The facility owner had a group of autistic/Down's children over today. I looked over to see a boy STANDING ON THE FENCE petting the stallion! The horse sensed the innocence in him. I was able to enter and just sat in his pasture four hours until he slowly approached me. Now who was the real horseman today? Not me!!!!!
