Since we had an over two hours drive and the show was late in the season, it was after dark when we arrived. The stabling facilities were in some woods in portable stalls set up under big open-sided tents, and it was pitch black on that hilltop. When I unloaded my Morgan and led him to his stall, we were met by dead silence from the horses who were already there. However, when I went back a got Tank, we walked to the stall amid squeals and whinnies from certain stalls. When I later checked out the horses that had greeted Tank, I discovered it was all the Fjords, several of whom he had never met. -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd & Skipper -- Omaha, NE/Las Cruces, NM, USA There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse. --Robert Smith Surtees(1803-1864)
