Default Anybody want a gelding for free?

I'm not kidding here. Any of you trail rider type people who wanta gelding need to email me quick. One of my clients Maggi is giving away some racehorses, geldings, and she has three left out of 8 she started with.
Better speak fast, and you may be able to get one for free.

No you cannot. When horses are given away or donated, they are given away with the agreement that the horse can no longer race.

Its free. You'd have to pay the shipping. She has 3 that need homes.

Yeah, but then you'd have to pay board and all, etc.

Are they sound enough to do hunting? I could ask my friend if she would want a gelding. She may. I take it they are in NY?

Then definately look into it for her Cajun. Should only be a few hundred to ship from NY right? Thinking $600 or so.

No not bad at all. Too bad I can't get a nice raise right now, but honestly, I would need a "bombproof" horse for right now not a project one. Especially since I am still sore from a fall on Friday!

This is an example of why life's not fair. Free horses being dangled in front of my very nose. When I wanted my first car what do I get? A kitten for my birthday instead. Funnily enough I had a kitten find me a few weeks ago. Apparently instead of being able to bear children, whenever I want one I'll just get a kitten instead.

My best friend got a new car and soon to be another doggie instead of children.

Funny, when anyone ever asks me if I am going to ever have kids, my response is "I have always wanted a horse, haven't wanted kids yet".

Life works in mysterious ways Merlinsky. I am very lucky in the situation that I have. I am kinda "free" leasing a horse right now. Just take care of him and baby some of their other horses and I get to ride for free. Sometimes I help by feeding too. Horse's owners are very nice and kind people.
