Re: [RC] horses sight unseen - Chris Paus

I'm a seller and I've met two of the four Internet
buyers I've had. I do a lot of checking on people. So
far all my buyers have been endurance riders, or
people known to the endurance community, which is a
fairly small community in horsedom!

So far, all my babies have gone to wonderful homes and
all but one buyer has kept in touch with me, sent me
photos of the horse growing up, given me progress
reports, etc. My buyers have turned out to be great
new friends! So far, everyone has been in the Central
Region where I ride. Can't wait for the day when we'll
have three or four BayRabs at the same ride. That will
be fun!

The only horse sale I've had that I really regretted
because the buyer turned out awful, was for a grown
mare and people I met in person and even visited their
farm to inspect where she would be living. So, getting
to know them in person doesn't alwasy ensure that
things will go well.

I hear from the buyer's end but what about the
seller?  I sure want to have a 
sense of what kind of person my dear friend is going
to spend--hopefully--a 
good many years of her/his life with.  Sometimes one
can get a true sense over 
the phone/email, etc.  But for my peace of mind I'd
like to meet 'em in the 
flesh.  Best--
