I understand what you're saying.....but (there's always a but, right?)
this doesn't really apply to me.  And, if there was a big unexpected vet 
bill, my mom would defenetely be able to help me....I don't really agree with 
you when you say this.  Because I make enough money to keep a horse, I just 
hadn't saved enough money to buy a $2500 horse.  It took me quite some time 
to save $1500.  
While my mare isn't kept in some beautiful pasture with a great big stall to 
keep her warm when it rains, she's happy.....she has a nice place to be, she 
can run around and she's got a blanket. 
The guy who sold her to me knew she was worth more.  But I like to think that 
he wanted me to have her.  So, he made it work.  You're right, he probably 
did sell her dirt cheap.  That just means I need to get off the computer and 
go thank him....again.  
We have a special deal worked out.  I see him everyday....he sees my horse 
almost everyday.  This is only because I'm his assistant when he works, his 
riding buddy when he doesn't work, and his stall cleaner when I owe him 
time(which is all the time) And I think seeing her getting more and more 
fit...and me with a big smile on my face....knowing he did a good 
thing.....is more important than fattening his wallet.
