On the other hand, there are many people who are
willing to care for someone elses horses, and find
good homes for them after they are healthy and sound. 
Many of my horses were "free" and turned into
champions.   Not that I couldn't afford to buy the
horse but because I didn't want to buy "that "horse
but would be willing to take it and care for it so
save its life.  And many of them spent their lives
very happy with some of my students who could not
afford to buy a good horse but that I gave to them
when they were ready for one.  They were four H kids,
Show kids, Dressage kids,Pony club kids, long distance
kids, pleasure riding kids,  all who got their start
on a "free" horse.
