475guy,

The typical horse, anywhere on earth, was trained by a complete moron. Try one that was properly trained instead of being beaten into submission by an idiot redneck who thinks he's a cowboy needing to treat it like crap until it quits bucking. Some of them actually beat the hell out of the horse for days as "primary training".

Most horses I've known, regardless of reputation, seem pretty easy to get along with. Most horse owners I've met, are not so easy.

Richard.
