Thanks a bunch Scrappy. Not only will I but I'll also fwd to several of my horsey friends that are not HT'ers.

As we all know it is our right, and more importantly our responsibility, to take an active role in government from voting to letting those you elected know how you feel on the issues.

Thanks again.
