Judy, That sounds a lot like our situation here in central OR. We just happen to live in a "resort/tourist" area (27 golf courses, a "top ten in the world" rock climbing area, several destination resorts, as well as hiking, fishing, hunting, and don't forget skiing!) and we live right on THE main North/South highway for this part of the state. Hardly a day goes by in the summer months when we don't have at least one car pull in to the yard, or stop out in the feed store parking lot to take picture. We always cheerfully take them out to meet the horses. I'll never forget the day some folks stopped several years ago and we took them out in the pasture to see the horses. At that particular time we had 5 mares, 1 foal and our late stallion Bjorn all out together. Bjorn was, of course right there being Mr. Friendly (or nosey), and the gentleman asked about his color; why was he grey instead of gold? In my explanation of the color of fjords I let slip the fact that Bjorn was a stallion. I still chuckle at the man's reaction to the fact that he was actually standing in a field with a "Stallion & his herd of mares" and that he was actually petting that stallion. Incidentally, he was so impressed with our Fjords that he ended up buying the gelding colt from us. Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
