The last thing Victor Esch Jr., 10, does before he goes to bed in Potomac, Md., is shine a spotlight out of the window to be sure his pony Misty is all right. But girls are more lavish with their affection. "He's my best, truest friend," says Mary Jay Harrigan, 8, who spends her afternoons after school in Colebrook, N.H., riding her 21-year-old chestnut gelding Ahab the Arab.

They are apparently made by one of the watching workers, and they mean "message understood." When the scout hears the beep, she is supposed to stop dancing so that the worker can come close to her and smell the odor of the nectar that she has found.
