Callous is an adjective. (Sorry, like Hermione Granger, I`m an insufferable know-it-all...) When I was a kid and we had horses, back in the 1960s and 70`s, we also called them chestnuts, for what it`s worth. Gosh, I miss my Arabian, Markuba. Although it was because of him, I had to be knocked out with general anesthesia for my c-section in 1979. Seems that, when he threw me off and I landed on my back with a rock under my spine, I`d come really close to a broken back! Enough so that the epidural whouldn`t go through my spinal column. Yikes! Be well!!! Marshalee On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 8:33 AM, Gayla Roberts <aera...@gmail.com> wrote: The cork is the callous inside the horse's front leg. >Gayla > >>
