Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I've acquired three horses sight unseen from Internet sources, and one horse, via the Internet that I did get to go see and ride. so far, they've all been good horses and I've not been disappointed.

 

I've also sold several horses to people who have not been able to see them in the flesh first. So far, all the people seem quite happy with their horses. The one horse I've been burned on was the horse I bought from a guy down the road and got to ride the horse twice before I bought him.
