RC: Re: Horses wanted

[peggy brush <psbrush@hotmail.com>]

I was a 4-H leader for 8+ years and had many horses donated free (they did 
get a tax write off) because people know that the horses were going to good 
4-h homes, would have lots of leaders helping with the wellfare of horses 
and a great sport for our young teens (what a good way to keep them from 
'hanging out' at the mall).  Many of these horses were very nice, registered 
and trained. Bottom line, lots of young people would love to have a horse 
but their family can not afford $3000 (or $6000 for 2)....it sure doesn't 
hurt to ask.  I have no problem with breeding, training and selling horse 
for a profit, but not everyone has money as their primary motivation.  If we 
can afford to help some young people let's do it!!
