Hi, Bob --
 
Just a confession of a "guilty pleasure" here.  Over the weekend I went to a 
convention for the TV shows Hercules and Xena.  During the 
"stump the experts" contest, where the fans are invited to ask trivia 
questions of the producers and other staff on the show, one fan asked what 
breed Xena's horse Argo is.
 
I was very cross because the panel didn't know, and when the fan was 
challenged to give the right answer, said "Palomino".
 
Unfortunately I didn't remember the real answer myself, or I would have 
bellowed it out from the back of the hall.  (I think Tilly is the New Zealand 
equivalent of a Aussie Brumby, but I'm not sure.) Do you know off-hand which 
of the down-under breeds show Palomino coloring?
 
At any rate, the next time I go, I'm going to look it up and be prepared. 
 ;-)
 
It was very fun to see the little kids asking Renee O'Connor (who plays 
Gabrielle) what it was like to work with Argo -- she was surprised at first, 
because I'm sure she was expecting the name of one of her human colleagues to 
be at the end of the question, and had to shift gears completely in order to 
answer the question.  Apparently Tilly's winter coat is very pale compared to 
the summer coat.  How much color variation do you see in CJ and Tush?
