Is is stupid that someone would ship a horse all the way from Texas to wherever and then to Australia every winter just for trail-riding? To me, yes.

Will rich people always do stupid things with their money as long as they have it? Yes. 9 times out of 10, yes.

Does it matter as long as he takes care of the mare? No.

He could buy an 800,000 dollar racehorse just to watch someone braid its mane if he wanted to as long as he took care of it.
