Terry,
Go to Candice's post and put your curser on the last word, now hold down your normal (left) mouse key and drag it to the top of the page. That should make all the words turn blue, now let go of the left mouse key and hit the right mouse key. A box should appear, click copy. Now open a reply page. Put your curser at the top, hit the right mouse key, when the box opens hit paste. That should do it for you.

info junkies UNITE!!!
We confess - we read all the nutrition info on boxes and cans
We watch discovery channel, ETV, History channel, medical channel and others similar
We surf the internet constantly looking for new and fascinating information
We listen in on conversations in restaurants seeking new facts
Our favorite place is the public library and our library card is worn from excessive use
We take college courses for fun
When we learn something new we immediately call a friend to share our treasure
We start conversations with strangers if we hear them talking about something new and interesting
Nothing and noone can escape our compulsion to vacuum up all available information on any subject.
Got new info???? By all means SHARE it with us!!!

Here is a question that maybe should be added...
Something like...
If you used to show, but do not show now... please tell us why you quit showing..... but then, you are bound to get answers involving judging which you maybe have tried to avoid.
Or.... How do you feel about the cost of showing...is it worth it to you?
Or...what is your primary interest in owning a Paso Fino?
What is your main usage of the horse(s)?
