Thanks, Moose! There were dragonflies all over the fence on the farm and
they are huge! Yes, the horses are Percherons and pull carriages for Tim's
company - Classic Carriage. They have 9 Percherons but 6 work at a time
and 3 are on "vacation" at his farm. They take really good care of those
horses!
