Put me in mind of a time when we were trying to load up my Arab at a well attended horse event; she usually loaded well but this particular day she refused and we were attempting to gracefully coax, cajole, (beg), and were about to go for the butt roap when an old-timer cowboy sauntered past, packing a whip, and he nonchalantly popped her a good one without breaking stride! She shot in like a hockey puck. We wouldn't have done that but were grateful that he did, and I confess we've had to use his trick once since. Of course with Fjords that's not necessary =) Ruthie, NW MT
