Nice story, thanks for sharing it. But for every story you can tell about something like what you described, I can tell you two more about just the opposite happening. And put all together, they are stories that don't amount to a hill of beans about the placement of a horse. Some things work, other don't. You move on and try something else.
I don't have much patience for Monday Morning Quarterbacks or second guessers after the fact so I'll refrain from going down a road I shouldn't with you.....
