 being in attendance. They aren't motorcycles. They are horses. They breathe, 
 they hurt, they can be frightened - and if that is too soft and sweet for

Amen to that.  I am so possessive of my "girlfriend" that I cringe when 
anyone other than myself gets on - even just around the field to try her out! 
 We are used to each other - and I think that is of paramount importance in 
this sport.  It is a partnership.  Solitaire and I are a team.  No 
"substitute players" here!  Too soft and sweet?  I don't think I am generally 
accused of such things.  :o)
