The general statement of "let's find a good home... " can only be authenticized by the person that actually ends up with her, or any other horse we own. Our intent may be for the best, but you just never know unless you are the one that takes the horse.
LOL - I'm guessing by her personality. It's still $400-$600 a month for everything (here) to have a horse standing in a field, eating grass, for 25 years. Nothing wrong with that in my view, but someone has to pay for it.

Up to Chuck and Steve. I'm on board with whatever they decide.
