<DIV><BR></DIV>Thanks, Clive. I'm glad that someone has answered -
after all, I'm only an amateur, so what do I know?
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That's a very useful thought. <kevar> does mean "co-tillage".
Now, I'm not a farmer (just a horseman) but, does anyone plough in
December? Does anyone here know?</DIV>

<DIV>(PS - after 14 months out of the saddle due to my illness, and Paddy's
retirement through old age and arthritis, I'm very pleased to say that I'm
back IN the saddle again! AND it's the BIG man! The colossal
17.3hh, police trained Shogun! Am hugely enjoying him, too! When
you look at the photo, remember that I'm 6ft 3ins - then you can gauge his
size!).</DIV>
