[Woodcarver] Horse dimensions

[Sandy Holder]

Lloyd, I am glad you enjoy my carvings and coantact me any time, glad I 
could be of some help, and will be glad to help any time. In case you are in 
Michigan next May, I am instructing a 5 day miniature horse carousel class 
at the Michigan Wood Carvers Association week long seminar, it would be fun 
to have you in class!   http://www.geocities.com/miwoodcarvers/index.html
