Recognizing a horse's potential and allowing him/her to reach it with some other rider is part of good horsemanship.  Kind of like "the product is greater than the sum of its parts."  When the partnership is right, both horse and rider grow and bloom; when it's wrong both suffer and shrink.

I bought an off the track TB once out of a farmer's pasture for $450.  I  did a couple of years training, took him to some clinics, showed him a few times and sold him for a nice profit to a young man who sold him a year  or so later and then that horse hit the horse  version of the big time.  He ended up in a hunter jumper barn in Pebble Beach, Ca after being sold for what was in those days a small fortune.  The difference in his being a $450 slow race horse and a very expensive three day horse was having the right owner.  And it wasn't me.

That is what I told the AHR for their article.  Becky offered to sell me a stupid looking little brown horse for $500.  If I had bought him Rio would only be known as the horse that killed Maryben.....
