i wasn't looking for the arabian, but i was on the west side of lake isabella, going after something else, and there it was, right in front of me. so i thought "hey, why not?" and i went for it. a few minutes later that white horse was mine 🙂
and no, i don't plan to "train" it the way shawn hufford did...
an unrelated bit of advice: don't park your horse on the train tracks. the critters aren't even smart enough to get out of the way of an approaching train.
