where I used to live for many years, I had to drive by a house on the way home past an elderly woman who owned a horse. She was very old, stooped and bent. Most days I would go by and she would be sitting in a lawn chair under a tree holding the end of a long lunge line while her horse grazed in the front yard. She was obviously very devoted to that horse. I always said a prayer that the horse would either die shortly after the old woman or that her children would be sure and love it for her... i told my daughter she would have to take care of my horses after I am gone and she said "well make sure you leave enough of an insurance policy so I can afford a place to keep them and have enough money to make sure they are kept ok" so I did :) Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
