Hi folks! 

Well, here's the latest update on the book and video list.  I just
picked up some
more books at a local flea market so I may have the authors of some of
these
lurking around my house somewhere. As soon as I find time, I'll check
them out.
I know I just got Old Bones so I'll check up on that. I've been able to
straighten
it up a little bit, so maybe it's easier to read! When I get some folks
saying 
"I didn't like XXXX" and others saying "I enjoyed XXXX" I've just put
down 
"some like it, some don't"...but remember, it's just everyone's personal
preference! :) Happy Reading and Riding (hey, wonder why there weren't
FOUR R's in school..Reading, Writing, Arithmatic, and Riding! ;-)  )

				Kay & Horseless Crew
