I know that was the case, AFPhoenix. It HAD to be... or else, she had a pair of coveralls and overboots she wore the rest of the time... and my money is on the personal slave. (aka her Mom and Dad and sister...)

I can't really complain about that too much, I was a personal slave (we like to use the term 'Groom And Assistant' or 'Tack/Poop Technician' :lol ) for a family member during the time when my parents couldn't afford horses and I couldn't stand not being around them. It worked out well for me, and I learned a lot.

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
