Glenn, I enjoyed hearing about your visit to the stable this weekend. I have to say I'm jealous. :) Sounds like you had a great time! Please post that pic of the horse with the pictures shaved into his rump when you get the film back.
About how to talk to critters... One thing you might want to try with the horses is to sort of lean in towards their faces. I heard once that they greet each other with their muzzles, so the last couple of times I was at a stable, I kept my hands behind my back and stuck my face at them. If you do that, they might nuzzle your face, or at least snort at it. :) For dogs and cats, I usually find it's enough to crouch down, hold your hand out to them and wait. If they're curious, they'll come over to check you out. Hope this helps, Amita - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
