gotcha..........and i agree........a gesture of appreciation is not 
something the handler bills for, the way some are now billing for a 
"bonus."  The meaning of the bonus was just that...a gesture of 
appreciation for a job well done.............there are times when such 
gestures are appropriate.........and there is never a time when the 
owner should be billed for such a thing.
    I used to show hunters and jumpers professionally...and I 
appreciated those gestures........nobody would have dared to bill 
theowner simply for having done the job well........that was expected, 
even on the loony bin candidates we sometimes had to ride.
