We have to thank the KB for having a shred of decency despite his occupation ...

No defense for the owner, but there is not much market for a 26 year old stud ... Never the less, it did not sound like he made much effort to ensure his horse's safety ...

I am sure the FOBs would have bailed him with or without me, but I wanted it done immediately ...

With all the abuse and cavalier treatment of horses out there, we'd be flogging away like the headmaster in a Victorian boy's school ad nauseum ...
