Mine? My filly, Belle, was galloping in the pasture, hit a slick spot, wiped out, jumped up, shook, and did it all over again. It was like she'd decided it was pretty fun to fall down.

What was your best show performance, ever? What is the one thing that makes your horse spook? What's his favorite treat (and please don't tell me "McDonalds").
