Re: [RC] 'pound dog' mentality for horses? - heidi

T-man, you or I probably could go to an auction and
pick up a bargain horse and find it an appropriate job
and have a happy ever after story.

I've rescued an occasional one myself with good success.  But it's been my
experience that the folks who are the most consistently successful at
rescuing are the same ones who have studied what makes good breeding, and
who rescue accordingly.  As you said, Chris, and as others have said as
well, good horses DO fall on hard times.  That doesn't make them bad
horses.  But it still takes knowledgeable folks to consistently pick them
out from the general dross that is available at auction.
