This is a great idea. I have had to really get firm (well, obnoxious!)
with oblivious riders that use my horse as brakes, running into him rather
than pulling up...
"If your horses' nose is on my shirt, he's too <f***ing> close, okay?
Thanks."
One of the only times I'd welcome a case of projectile diarrhea ;^)!
Good sportsmanship and manners are qualities that we need to try and
encourage... they increase the feeling of comradre and friendship.

(counting the minutes till Tevis and wondering if she'll be able to restrain
the urge to steal a horse at the Bluff and race into town - Eeeehhaaaa! Heck,
it's only 30 more miles!!!!)
P.S. Hey Truman - The Tevis Yuppiemobile "Babe" (my new 1 ton Dodge Cummins
that someone called a yuppie truck on rec.eq, for those of you not connected)
is washed and shined and ready to roll - no horse trailer though.... kinda
spoils the picture ;^)
