    A lady down the way from us has a white Clydsdale -- ugliest thing I've
ever seen (blue eyes and all) ...... however, he's the sweetest horse I've 
ever
seen and when he's hitched to her cart (a meadowbrook type cart) he's awesome
!!
    This lady is a tiny little thing ... and to clean CLYDE's hooves she lays
on the ground as he sort of rests his hoof up (you know how horses stand when
they are tired - kinda' on 3 legs with the other leg and hoof resting on the
"toe") ..... it's the funniest thing to watch her do this !
