    She's really quite the character ...... MUCH more "expressive" as you put 
it than any of the rest here.  I always did say that my 'group' smiled .... 
well, she smiles and does a lot of other face 'contortions' depending on what 
is happening around her ...... she laughs (silently) ....
    I'm also amazed at the range of whinnies and nickers she has -- the rest 
of my 'herd' nickers when I go out to the barn - but it's more like a "hurry 
up, mom", or a soft "blowing, blubbering" type nicker if they are happy to 
see me ...... OR, a high pitched whinny if they are displeased with something 
..... SEDONA has 4 times that many nickers and whinnies but never seems to 
use the "hurry up" type instead she uses a "I'm so happy to SEE you" type 
..... I know -- it's crazy but I know you understand what I'm saying.
