Reading that last post in my journal, I guess all I can say is that when I am embarrassed, I get pompous.
I really AM proud of what those horses have done, and I worked very hard to be sure they were bred to be able to "do it all", not following fads, using sound breeding and care principles, whether they were in vogue at the time, or not. But to brag on them in my wrting journal just seems like taking unfair advantage.
NEVER let the right hand know what that sneaky left hand is doing.
