Bette, you do indeed "communicate," all the time!

I took some time to peek at your website. As time goes on, if Hal's get
have success (wins AND miles), you'll indeed have something to go on and
on
about. I think it's great that you've had some clearly successful and
experienced people willing to take a chance and offer their opinion on
an
unproven line in distance competition. A horse buyer/owner looking for
their one and only endurance prospect (or one of two) might not take
that
chance for a premium price (or even the marginally profitable price I
mentioned).

Bette, (and this is a compliment coming from me) you do know a thing or
two
about marketing, no doubt about it.
