DT> Last night I took Smokey out after we did some work in the arena and

      Reminds me of Casey when he was younger.  He cracked us up, because as 
a youngster (under five) he was afraid of water puddles.  You know, they're 
not all that common here!  But the first time we rode across the Agua Fria 
River (about a yard wide and a foot deep up by my mom's place), he TRIED TO 
ROLL WITH J.D. ON HIS BACK!  And this was preceded by him doing just what 
Smokey was doing - putting his nose close to the water, stomping - and then 
his KNEES started to buckle...
