Dawna,

What a wonderful thing you did.  It breaks my heart to see horses go to
the auctions( I  know sometimes it is unavoidable) because usually they
DON"T get good homes, no matter what people like to think.  It is
especially hard to  see the young ones with a whole life ahead of them. 
I always think(being a breeder and fearing this could happen to one of
mine) that someone must have been thrilled at his birth, and hoped for a
wonderful life for him.  At least I would hope so. ...Maureen
