=46rom what I was told, if you let the burro lead the group, with onl=
y the tender in front, he will be more likely to keep moving. Also ha=
ve someone walk just behind, and to the side,(out of kicking distance=
) with a walking stick or small branch. Occasionally brushing the bac=
k of the rear ankle of the burro. Two reasons THIS WORKS GREAT: the b=
urro is not intimidated by the 'group' in front of him, and the brush=
ing of his heel makes him think something is behind him. We almost do=
ubled our trail speed. Of course there is a down-side, you may occasi=
onally have to side-step a dropping or two.=0D=0A=0D=0A>>> HICKER1@ao=
