i think it was more like six months, and the shape of the white hairs is just that of the "butterfly" inside the sensation. so whether you find it hard to believe or not, it is a better fit for the evidence than anything else. (his previous owner was a child, presumably even smaller than me.) stjarni also doesn't show back problems either in massage (by me) or by chiropractor (under either the old sensation or the hrimir; we haven't had the new sensation long enough to check yet). he occasionally gets a little stiff around the withers, and he was a bit of a mess after the shoe-throwing saga, but that's why he *has* a chiro. --vicka
