I agree James. I often joke that I’d be better dressed if I didn’t have horses.

I just read the article. I am trying to convince my parents to buy me a horse. I have used some of those tecniques and I have to say, I don’t have a horse yet but I am closer. I love horses and I know I wont grow out of them so kepping my grades up and cleaning the house is worth it. I brought a 58 up to a 92. Yay me. Thanks for the advice!
