Oh, I do understand. When you are in the throes of grief, those barbs sting like hell and are the last thing you need. When Max died, trust me, I went over and over and over it in my mind about what I could have done differently. I didnt' need anyone on Ridecamp to tell me. I already beat myself up far more than they could have.

 

I agree with you about Bev and Paladin. I met Bev through email, but haven't met her in person yet. In fact, the colt who broke his leg was one she was interested in. We had quite a correspondence about him and she decided to go for a horse a little older and more ready to start.

 

If she is anything in person like she is in email, then I consider her a very classy and kind person and wish her and Paladin the very best.

 

I'm sure Bev has replayed the incident in her mind a thousand times and I'm sure she has Paladin's best interest at heart.
