I just don't know here. One of my neighbors buys horses at killer
prices frequently, puts some training and miles on them and some TLC.
He may do a ride on them or he may not. He usually sells them to a good
home at reasonable prices and he sitll makes money. I figure he's doing
both the horses and people that buy them a favor. Some have gone on to
be solid endurance horses. Many are just backyard pleasure (this is of
course anyone can classify an Arab as a "pleasure") trail horses that
the owners love. One he sold to the Arabs for a nice hefty sum.

Skip Lightfoot's two horses.
If a list was put together of all the horses that were purchased at
killer prices at the auctions comparing those that were like Skips, to
those that didn't amount to anything, which would be the longer list?
The "unfortunate" part is that we all hear about those few that beat
the odds, but no one talks much about the ones that didn't.
I know I should shut up because this subject's been beat to death.
