I have a small farm in CT so they are in my backyard and I actually have 3 horses, but the youngest is only 3 1/2 and not ready to ride yet.  She will be going to the trainers in the Spring.

Scarlett is in a half cheek snaffle.  We tried her in a bitless and in a hackmore and she did not like it at all.  Even though the contact with the bit is minimal she likes it almost like a security thing for her.

Morgans are a very versatile breed, but when it comes to barrel racing you need a horse with solid legs and speed.  Lots of quarter horses are used for that along with other breeds. 

My dream is to go to Ireland and foxhunt on one of those big warmbloods oh the fun galloping through the marsh and jumping stone walls. 

Perhaps for the meantime, we could meet at the Steeplechase at Winterthur?

That's wonderful. It also gives me the opportunity to add, "And the horse you rode in on."
