Col.
Happy Birthday!
The statue does not sit well with me. Why the hell is Borglum having Sheridan backing his horse so strongly? I thought Sheridan was a forward kind of guy.
On my horse all you do is a squeeze, a cluck, shift you weight back and a touch of the bit and back you go. Hell, to bring my horse down to a walk from a canter, all I do is raise my right arm.
The statue makes me focus more on the horse than Sheridan. And, yes, I am a bit picky about horses.
Again, Happy Birthday and many more.
Thanks for having the courage to speak your mind.
Happy Birthday, Colonel.
Wishing you many more.
David

Pat,
If you get this many candygrams on your 39th birthday imagine how many you'll receive on your 100th. You're a true wonder! cheers, Knut
