Re: EQ-ResQ: VA arabians available--update

["sylke" <sylke@blacksburg.net>]

I am sorry, but I have not "bailed" out of helping... I am in the process of
caring for my own horse that is injured and needs my help more than these
Arabs at the moment.  The pictures I took of them are now developed and I am
in the process of scanning them in.

Please keep the facts straight.
