I don't think this could possibly be correct? Annie has never been unsound a day in her life. She is certainly far from slow -most of the people who have ridden her think I should make her a barrel horse. I wont, because I am not really into that, but she is the fastest horse I have ridden. It's slowing her down that is difficult:) And I have seen her free jump four foot high obstacles, as well as 10 foot wide puddles. Plus, she jumps ditches, logs, sanddunes, and up and down hills all of the time on trail rides. So I can't imagine that she can't jump. As to her happiness, Annie usually seems quite happy to me, provided dinner is on time. My friends can always tell when I am about to walk into the barn, because she hears or smells me and whinnys whenever I come in.

Perhaps you could elaborate why you came to these conclusions?
Thank You, Bryna
