Having come from the Land of the Giants (dressage), we often chuckle around
here about all the little guys in the barn now!  The average height used to
be over 16h and is now about 14.2-3h.  One of the barn mottos now is (with
fist raised) "Power to the Ponies!!"!  We also have another -- "Two-Point
Rocks!!"  (Comes from all the two-point I make my students do...and they
actually like it! ;-))

Been thinking about making some t-shirts. <g>
