Thanks Delores, good advice. I have not used clicker training myself, only 
watched it, but it does appear that timing would be absolutely crutial, 
perhaps a bit more so than with other methods?  Concerning Clinton Anderson, 
yeah I saw that tape of him crawling all over the horse as a "human brush". 
Ha, ha, don't think so.  I'm too darn old and as you say, too short for that 
silliness!  He's fun to watch evolve, as he's getting older, he's mellowing 
out a bit.  Saw Dennis Reis do the same thing.
