I think it's sort of a bad cycle... bring in one piece of equipment, then another to enforce or counteract the negatives of the first, then another... Think about it... why the whips? It's not like there's a lot of finesse work going on; it's pretty much running straight. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
