Well hell, y'all just get pissy about the littlest stuff.

Let me explain something to you guys. I did not and will not give you every detail about the purchase and intended use of the horse. All of your assumptions are just that... assumptions. Assume away. You took two little details and made it your entire argument, yet you are missing a lot of other facts. I gave y'all very minimum details. Yes, HE wants to trail ride her mainly. He doesn't show now because he's never had a show horse. He would like to learn but he's not sure if he would be interested in it wholeheartedly. He also has other plans for her though, and frankly they aren't anyone else's business but his and mine. I'm not going to put his plans here, or anywhere else, so that a group can just say they either do, or do not, agree with his intended plans.

I thought it was nice that I got the horse sold, she has a great home, and I was happy about it so I wanted to share. Nothing more. I didn't want a damn bitchfest and pages and pages of arguments when in reality, the assumptions that are being made are based off minimum details, and the conclusions being drawn are incorrect. It was hard enough for me to load up a horse this morning that I have poured my blood, sweat, and tears into for quite some time now, just to have her turn and look at me like "why can't I stay with you? Where am I going?" Then I get on here and y'all are bitching about two things that you don't have all the details about.

When did this board become a place where a person has to disclose every detail of a transaction?

Congratulations on the sale HnH!

Many of the reader will be jealous because the only shipping that they are going to do is the shipping of a half TWH crossed on a Quarter Arab,Morgan to a dog food processing plant as they don't even meet the grade for steaks in France....Ha!




Hey, DD, get your facts straight.  The TWH already has been to exported to Australia, Netherlands, Israel, and has a well-developed sister association for TWH breeders in Germany established for many years.  There are shows/clinics/championships held in Germany for the TWH.  The big German breeders travel every year back to TN to compete in the World Championship Show.  One of my friends personally exported some of her top horses to Israel; consulted with the people on how to set up a breeding program and which horses to choose.  The SSH has also already been exported to Israel, and they exported a top-quality stallion to begin a breeding program there. 

Have you heard of ever heard of the Countess Mariella Fugger?  She has TWHs in the US and in Germany; she travels to the US to compete in the top TWH shows, and she stands the Dark Vengeance line. 

And, another little fact you may have missed:  the guy who started the TWHBEA (Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association) sister association in Germany has resigned his position to become the President of the AQHA.  

So, be careful who you call jealous and who you run down; it's not the serious, informed TWH people attacking HnH.  I wish HnH all the success in the world; I don't agree with everyone beating her up.  However, I take offense at your statement that a TWH-cross wouldn't even make the grade for steak in France.  There's no need to attack other breeds as being inferior.  Clearly you don't know anything about the TWH. We've been exporting high-quality horses for many years now.


mmmm... I think he was making a funny. Or perhaps, I was the only one who took it that way.  Gaited steaks
