		<description><![CDATA[Un-want-ed: exceeding what is needed or necessary

		<description><![CDATA[We humans tend to want to tweak, to adjust, to put our own individual stamp on something.  And horsemen are no different.
Walk through a barn at feeding time on the backside and take a look at what goes into that feed bucket.  Yes, there is a scoop or two of feed.  But there’s also a [...]]]></description>
