Hi lorrapaw,
I changed your post from all caps, as it's difficult to read and in internet language means you are shouting at us.

For the stag puzzle, first make sure that all the stags & the little man are the same colour.
Dave McB gave great advice from another ECHO thread on how to change the colours:
There is a funny thing that happens when you are trying to change the colour of the stags and when you are changing their positions. When you click on one stag, you change it and the ones on either side of it. So, if you want to change (either the colour or position) of a particular stag (or the little man), click on the stag to its left.The stags should be positioned so that they appear to give the visual effect of running through the water. Click on the arrows above the stags to change their positions.
From the walkthrough: Note that front hooves should be in the water when entering the water and the back hooves should be in the water when exiting the water. Also note the position of the heads while in the water - some are craning forward, trying to be above water or getting ready to be out of water.
So, begin with the stag across to the far right, and work gradually left, adjusting just a couple of stags at a time. Test your progress by clicking on the double arrow above the 3rd stag on the right wall. If the stags begin to gallop then you know their positionings are correct. If nothing happens, or if the stags stop after only a few paces, then you will need to adjust at that point.

and let us know how you get on.
