Karen, Well said girl.
There was a sweet family, new to horses, whose daughters took lessons from our grandaughter. The girls had been given two lovely OLD mares and the family was taking wonderful care of them, but they were stuck and were coming up on some very hard and sad times. They couldn't and wouldn't pass the mares along and do what some "nice" people had done to them. They could only take care of two horses. The girls were ready to move up to a more able horse. The last time I heard, they continued to board, baby and care for the old mares, but my guess is that we lost a good horse family because someone did them the big and generous favor of dumping gransma with them.
