Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've just gotten back and am reading all your advice very carefully. I sure do appreciate your comments. I'm going to save them, print them out, and go out to the stable, printouts in hand to try this out. I agree that I must solve Flygill's laziness, but I didn't realize at all the physics of the situation or that that was underlying the whole problem. Their stride lengths don't match so ultimately I may just have to get another horse for my pair. Mosa is pregnant - and I'm really hoping that even if energy levels or color don't perfectly match between mother and foal, the stride length will be the same!
