I know how it goes. I started with my 3 y/o in 2001, and then this
past year as a 4 y/o we've been dealing with a little attitude.
Probably the biggest problem with him has been that he is VERY
intelligent. I know a lot of ponys are pretty smart, but this guy is
extremely smart. Hopefully he will be a little more mature at five
and put his mind to good use, he's a really nice mover... when he
wants to be. Oh well, I love him to death, we'll work thru it.

And I just about had a heartattack, my Green Bay Packers just won the
wildcard game in overtime!! *sorry for my shameless plug, I'm more of
a Nascar fan myself, but it was awesome!*
