That is so great. It was really cool of you and your wife to to do that, Oil Money's Dream is lucky to have had a couple of fans like you...nice going Heidi and Shannon.

In the end though, the $ wasn't a big deal and he did keep his word on giving us first dibs on buying her.
What you did was really great. It just pisses me off when these guys take money from people that could be used to care for the horse. While I also understand that when you "give" a horse away there is always the threat that someone will profit by just flipping them to the meat market getting $1000 for a complete liability (earning nothing but still eating whatever meager feed they were giving her) is not exactly ok

That was awesome!! Thank you for caring and going above and beyond, may Karma reward you both!!

You obviously know a lot more about this scenario than me, what do you think should have happened then? A couple hundred dollars? We are not or never did complain about the 1k purchase price, but like you said that $ could have went towards the horse instead of in Baird's pocket.

And thanks to everyone else. My wife just left to take her to her new home.
