It's so shiny it's artificial looking, like the horse has polish on each hair. I'm wondering if it's a brief phenomenon? I'm not so sure it's connected with what a horse has been eating, as much as what it does with what it's eating, since at least one horse observed to have been shiny was not being fed a rich diet at all. ------------------------ Lif Strand, Research Associate Southwest Center for Resource Analysis Western New Mexico University (505) 773-4897 (505) 212-0108 FAX
