	Linda's horse Cam is fabulous.  I haven't met Linda, but I went out  
to visit Cam because we live nearby.  I nearly came home with him but  
my husband and I have a tense agreement about how many horses we can  
house.  My beloved arthritic retiree Salima is waaay too happy to be  
put down, so I can't offer Cam a place.
	Here's the thing--he's an excellent endurance prospect.  He's  
typical Polish--very strong, big, scopey guy.  He's completed a  
couple of rides--can't remember if he's done a 50-miler as well as  
25's.  He's big enough for a heavy-weight, definitely exciting  
prospect for 100's.  He's got beautiful big legs, strong and  
correct.  (I'm a bit sensitive to legs now that I have a horse with  
weak pasterns....)  Great feet, strong shoulders, strong back.
	He's going to go insane though, living in a 12 ft. box there at the  
stable (nice place but zero turnout and an owner in straits dire  
enough she can't get out to work with him apparently.)  I turned him  
out into one of their little gravel paddocks--after about 10 minutes  
of moving around freely he transformed from strained, irritable guy  
into doe-eyed gentle guy.  He is so ready for a long-term committed  
owner.  Very gentle with my kids, playful with the water bucket,  
goofy and friendly and nuzzley once he's taken out of his box.
	Cam's stall stares into a wall, he gets out rarely, and he's going  
to go nuts if he doesn't find someone.  Some horses seem to adapt  
well to stables--he's not that kind of horse.  He needs to be out in  
a big ol' pasture.  He's smart, strong, and eager.  He's FREE.  Go  
get 'im!!!!
