Yeah, most everybody on this board seems well-intentioned and helpful. It's interesting because FHOTD is self-proclaimed "snarky," but I find that the postings, generally speaking, are honest but never rude. As far as polo ponies and exercise go, I LOVE being able to give my girls time off... just letting them run around in a big pasture like they were "born to be free" ...even if it takes them 4-6 weeks to get back into shape....

As far as your coworker goes, it doesn't sound like she's ready to face the music. Best to break her in gently as you're doing Maybe she will see the light.

Oh, and I forgot to add - this filly is not mine, but one I am considering. Anybody else have any quick impressions based on the photo above?
