Glad to see FTF is back to her old self. Oh wait...no I'm not.

Though I don't think Erika was intending to speak for everyone, I will say that her post certainly speaks for me. You are being condescending. That's your MO. That's what we've all come to expect from you, and you delivered.

Oh, and the fact that the buyer may intend to add the mare to some sort of breeding quality was brought up only AFTER people expressed surprise that he intended to ship her to Australia as trail horse. You can harp all you want about this mare being exactly what he was looking for because of her breeding, double registration, or whatever else, but the fact of the matter is that it was originally presented as her being purchased AS A TRAIL HORSE, which has absolutely nothing to do with her characteristics as a breeding animal.
I found the comment very condescending as well, and I thought Erika addressed it very tactfully. I really don't understand why certain people are so bewildered that anyone might be surprised at the thought of importing a trail horse to Australia. (I know, she's double registered, but as BIWAP pointed out, the possibility of the buyer breeding her was not introduced in the initial post.)
