All of this sounds wonderful, and may be practical for some shows. However, at the Libby show the 'stalls' are outdoor pens with no covers - except for the covered stallion pens. Posting all of this paper on the side of a metal pen would be a cute trick - and getting it to stay there without being eaten by various Fjord mouths reaching for it would be frustrating to say the least! Think of the distraction of all that fluttering paper when the wind blows - plus the added challenge of several sheets of paper blowing around the grounds/arena after blowing off the pens. Just putting the information in the program - a simple, short "sire, dam, dam's sire, breeder" would do - is far more practical in this case. If someone wants to know about the evaluation scores, etc., the program will give them enough info to find the horse/owner/breeder(whatever) and ask pertinent questions. Sometimes we forget to use the KISS method on ourselves! Mary ===== Mary Thurman Raintree Farms [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
