I have raised, trained, showed quarter horse all my life It was always funny when I went to Texas and whipped them at their own game. They did not take it well. Some had their own brand of cheating too! lol
The younger generation loves the modern muscle, and I understand. Lots of eye appeal, plenty more hp, handles and rides better, smells better! But I look under the hood and first thought is " where is the friggin carb"!!!! Then next thought is how would I even begin to take out the radiator!!??
