I my younger years I used to buy T.Bs off the track and retrain them as riding horses.  Occasionally I would get one that I couldn't manage but most of the time they responded well to kindness, gentle teaching and the opportunity to not have to run.  I developed some that went on to be great kids horses.  A few became ...more
