judy, i just want to say thanks to you for your unending support and enthusiasm. you're a treasure :) i have been playing some (i don't remember if they are "p") nh games with stjarni, who likes them -- things like picking up his feet from the wrong side, going towards and away from me on the longe line with body language (i admit to using voice too), &c. i don't know that we'll end up without reins, but it's certainly been a wonderful way to do unmounted stuff with my dearest ponykins :) --vicka (leaving now to buy that balaclava and RIDE!)
