>> Money won't change people of character and integrity. It's up to you to
identify the type of people you choose to sell your horse to. That's
exactly why I don't breed or sell horses. You are right . . . there are
so few people with integrity today. Sad, but true. I guess I'm naive.

I do breed and occassionally sell a horse. Part of what I consider is
setting a price is what kind of home will a partciular $$ amount attract.
Not always true, but I do go by the theory that if someone pays "good money"
for a horse, he/she is more likely to be a better owner.

And, you are not naive (either that or we all are). I like to think we all
WANT and been brought up to TRUST and BELIEVE in our fellow human beings. It
is so sad that we rarely can....one of the reason I am in this sport....I see
MORE GOOD people as a group than anywhere else I've been (that's ANYWHERE and
at ANY RIDE). I have been in business for 16 years and have had VERY FEW bad
checks or unpaid debts and NO thievery. I don't believe that is just luck.
