Steph:

Could this possibly mess up the return of your horse to the states?  I heard 
this on the news and was wondering if such a thing could happen to you.  How 
long will they let you stay if your horse can't leave?  Will you have to 
become a belly dancer?

They're not even having thoroughbred horse racing in England anymore because 
of this disease.  Racing hamsters now!  Just isn't the same if you ask me.

Scares the crap out of me, this hoof and mouth thing; I'm afraid to leave my 
state with my horse.  Might not be able to return.  I just don't get it.  I 
mean, I put my foot in my mouth all the time. What's the big deal?

cya,
Howard
