And like us humans interact differently with each other , so horses have different energies. Invariably, the ride with the first horse will be pardon the phrase "a horse of a different color" with the second shooter. Different energies. The first horse, Picken rated real well with, wasnt in racetrack wanting to be in the lead.

I’ve decided to call it “Line Dance,” it has 5 high-fashion cowboy boots lined heel-to-toe. The boots are bright and highly designed.
