Just a quick little story - I once lived in
Northwestern Arkansas and totally support this poor lady's story that it is
extremely difficult selling Arabian horses in that part of the country. In
fact, when I first moved there, my closest neighbor (in proximity) had some
awfully neglected horses. I called animal control, which in that part of
the state was the Sherriff, only to find out that I was running into a brick
wall. I took care of those horses myself for a while until the matters
were resolved eventually. As it turned out, my
neighbor had very similar circumstances and was in the hospital after an
accident and a husband that left her. I sincerely hope that everyone
takes this plea for help to heart - talking about hitting rock
bottom!!! What does it hurt to make a couple of phone calls to people we
know and just get out the word. What a shame it would be, and how sad, if
one day we read that eleven beautiful horses "didn't make it".
Gee, makes you wonder sometimes...or at least helps
you realize not to take things for granted. What about some of the horse
traders we know - a few good and reputable ones come to mind...Rocky Mountain
Training Center, Trinity, Sweet Talker Farms, etc.etc. They are usually
great in facilitating horses to good homes.(??)

I went to the website. I hope she just hasn't
updated her prices. They are a bit high for someone trying to sell her horses
quickly. They are beautiful, though.
