Philanders - just going to check if Andrew Jackson was president after Lincoln then we shall see - thanks for your help.

[devadiva]

should have been andrew johnson (thought he played for everton) so patronage is correct - thanks again

i think 24 should be passade not passage

[puzzlesRus]

Sorry, paddywak but I think you are wrong.

[paddywak]

You're right puzzlerus both terms used in dressage but passage does specify a trot with elevated hoofs, good job I saw your post & checked before posting the quiz off.

Thanks for your efforts - I had in fact put passage and posted it before I came across your answers - life is a bit upside down at the moment. Thanks again for your answers
