Actually, I'm in about the same position you are, Imgliniel. I might have had the energy and desire to deal with a busy horse years ago, but now I want a mellow one, one that can saunter down the trail on a loose rein when I'm in a nature-walk mood.

I made the mistake of buying a busy horse when I decided to get back into riding a few years ago, and I was never happy with him. Times change with the passage of years, and what I want at this age is what might have bored me 30 years ago.

If I hear of someone who might suit him, I'll certainly pass the info along.
