Sorry if I got the details slightly wrong Marlene. With the shows nearly upon us again I just thought I'd dig out a pic or two of things that had impressed me in the past. In the transfer from slide to PC screen, detail has been lost in the pony's wonderful mane and tail. I'd say anything lovely about the picture is down to its subject-matter, but thanks anyway.

Thanks Ian, this is the best photo i have ever seen of him.
He is still with us aged 19 now.

If you'd care for a complimentary print of this pic - from a better scan - just say the word, Marlene, either here or on the phone (I'm in the book). He gave me great pleasure in the short time I had to admire him. When my fingers worked properly, I used to make model horses out of scrap wood - might even post a pic of the only one I've got left, come to think of it. Glad to know he's still alive and (not too often I trust) kicking.
