Every so often I roll out my "How To Find Free Or Nearly Free Horses"
info product.  I invariably get some emails from someone who blasts
me for encouraging those who cannot afford horses to get some or
ridiculing me for thinking anyone would actually give away a good
horse or telling me a "free" horse is worth exactly what you pay for it.

I can think of NOTHING that can go from a blessing to a burden quicker
than a horse and when it happens to you, it is one hell of a jolt.  We
have a herd of high dollar horses but we all know that horses are worth
exactly what they will bring when you just absolutely have no other
choice.

Horses are an endangered species.  There are going to be huge
numbers of horses with no place to go relatively soon.

One divorce, catastrophic illness or death or any of a number of other
of life occurrences and some one will be getting one hell of a deal on
some horses or there will be a new load going to slaughter.

True, many are brought to that point by unwise choices.  Even at that
one still has to step up and try to figure out what is the best for the
horses.
