This HAS to be my favorite quote:

"I know that is why I like it here so much.. we all CARE about the quality of the foals we produce, as well as the quality of the homes they are sold to.. Too bad more folks didn't see them as living beings deserving of that.. instead of money on the hoof.. "

PuhLEEZ.

This from the woman who sold an absolutely green rank beginner rider a mare who had MAYBE 5 rides on her, if that. >:

Ask her if she knows where that Palomino mare went, after the first person traded her off for a horse she could actually RIDE.

Had her believing this was her 'Spirit Horse, the horse of my SOUL' or some such bullspit. Poor lady.

And she is the one that sold the 2 horses to the lady that had them so skinny on that other thread. Sold the first mare, she slipped her foal, and because she took such SWELL care of HER, sold her the mare's last years colt. Good homes, indeed. :rolleyes

By and large, the only people she can get to buy her horses are people who are also members of that board, that buy the horses because they either don't know enough to know that horses JUST LIKE THOSE go for $50 at every auctionyard in the country, or they are buying themselves online popularity.

Bleh.

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