When we stopped competing our show horses came home and
mostly went into retirement.  As you said, they did their part
and now it is our time to do our part.  We have some pretty old
horses here and it looks like they are going to continue getting
old for years to come.

We also have a large collection of exotic birds, cockatoos,
Macaws, African Greys, etc.  We used to raise exotic birds
to sell then quit when people refused to treat them properly.
It wasn't the birds' fault.  They did their part and now it is
time to do our part.

A good person does well by his animals.
