wow that is interesting!! But your experience with mares having a bit more
to give and trying harder seems to be universal...I had a morgan mare that
was unbelievable in what she had to give. I never drove her - more's the
pity. What a cde horse she would have made. Not too many hearts like hers.
This is the first anniversary of her death - I miss her...and she never let
hormones interfere with work!
