Viceroyalty-- The dignity, office, or jurisdiction of a viceroy.

Maharaja-- A king or prince in India ranking above a rajah, especially the sovereign of one of the former native states.

Houngan-- is the term for a male (as opposed to the mambo, or female) High Priest in the Voodoo religion in Haiti. They are the highest form of clergy in the religion, whose responsibility it is to preserve the rituals and songs and maintain the relationship between the spirits and the community as a whole (though some of this is the responsibility of the whole community as well). They are entrusted with leading the service of all of the spirits of their lineage. Sometimes they may also be bokor.

Hoodoo-- refers to African traditional folk magic. A rich magical tradition which was for thousands of years indigenous to ancient African botanical,
magio-religious, and folk cultures, its practice was imported when mainly West Africans were enslaved and transported to the United States, in America.

Santeros-- a priest of Santería.

I BELIEVE these are all available.

Maven, Hills,

Can you give some examples of some of the "issues" you're seeing on the vet reports (no need to be soecific about a particular hip)?

Just curious.................

Spurs, splints. ocds...bad knees...bad ankles...injuries...not to mention various surgeries...some relevant...some not...but why start off paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a yearling that already has problems?

Your first will be rejected because it sounds like voodoo...and there is one...the same idea as jinxed applies to your second.

I actually have your last...or at least a version: syncretist
