AMEN to this, Kiola! I've been a member of this group since 2004 and have received so much help and advice from the people who have been on this group and owned Haflingers for a long time. I'm eternally grateful for all that has been freely given to me on this forum.

Only a friend is going to care to see you stay safe from harm. An enemy would tell you to do what you please and hope that you do get hurt.

I realize the new people are not going to know who they are... but usually the people who have an answer for you about your Haflinger are going to be the ones that actually know based on their experiance.

From your above words, I strongly suspect you "feel" offended for some reason and you want an apology, but, Jen, I have no apologies to make about how you choose to "think" or interpret my post/s -- that is your choice and your responsibility, and yours alone.
