Bruce you could put in more that i might know, I think I know three. Maybe you should stick to 10 questions a quiz to give us a chance.

Folks I researched and found EVERY answer except Ricks tatto's on line at different venue's.
If you ask someone who has met Rick they will tell you about his prominent tatto, thus be able to answer even that question.

I double checked my answers and probably drove Steve T. crazy correcting a few of them.

The first trivia I was easy and fun, now you have to work for it with trivia II.

Type in Key words and in many cases answers will come up.

You can do it... I need practice in the forge so someone win this...

Rick B. I am willing to bet you can answer all 20 questions. Try it but send me the answers via private message....

my 2 cents worth

Rick, I doubt if 10 folks will remember zero mostel.

And Bruce Daniels will be honored to know someone remembers he trimmed and shod eohippus

I got a good belly laugh !!!

my 2 cents worth

Rick , thanks for the laugh.
The only name I recognize is Emmit Smith-especially from the year that Dallas won the Superbowl. What a game!

A follow up to this thread: I've been wondering the answer to this question for a while.

On page 14 of Doug Butler's P3 there is a pic on the top of the page of Doug and 3 other shoers. Does anyone know who these guys are? The one of the far right looks like Mitch Taylor but I'm not sure...

Ok folks this trivia II is what you would have to do if you wanted to learn about a problem related to your horse and that is research it.
No takers so here are the answers.....

1. Laughing/sad masks from the walls of many opera house's
2."Smokey Ward"

Bruce finding all those answers takes a while. I was going to see how many I could find today. Can you do another one, pretty please, but maybe only 10 questions at a time:) xxoo PS I knew the David Farmilo one;)

I will work one up for you and Mal-Rachael and others.

Bruce thanks for the trivia i got 4/20 and i was doing some research .

#11 could also be a halfround/halfswedge..used for crossfiring standardbreds and such...

OK everyone Trivia III is now up...shorter and perhaps a bit easier.
I just went down the list and found every answer to every question on the internet.

my 2 cents worth
