This message is from: "Linda Lottie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DeeAnn......yes, mayhem forsure! And, we came close but good ole' Sven - he just took it all in stride and did not move. I remember tieing Hasse as a baby to Lena and ponying him as my daughter rode Lena.......but, leading is a better choice now that he is bigger.
Well, another tale of fjords taking care of the humans. I would not have even tried to take Hasse had it not been for Sven.......I know him/he knows me........and all is well.
