I think it's great that he's gone back to someone who has a connection to him and that (it sounds like) will take good care of him.

Did you think it was great that she came here and lectured people for no reason and made little to no sense in her rambling?

That was a pretty tame lecture, and one that I could easily look past in light of her involvement in the situation. It's tough imagining anyone feeling significantly slighted by what she said, but maybe they were. This

I thought the point was the owners were readily sending off a horse that made them a lot of money because "they have a lot of mouths to feed," and people were understandably not exactly thrilled about it.
