     In the SADDLE?  Jeez, my mom has been scared to ride since getting her 
first artificial knee several years ago.  But she really enjoys taking Spot 
out for a drive - having a driving horse has been great because people who 
can't or won't ride usually will jump into the cart without being asked 
twice.  How old is your friend?  Probably younger than my mom?

     Well - with me it's a congenital thing - found out today that it's not 
over yet.  The radiologist had some disturbing news; I get to have an 
ultrasound Tuesday.  And this time no cute paramedics to go with me.  Stones 
have more than one cause; with me it's the inherited condition.

     You're feeding grain and they are shrinking?  They must be WORKING!
