There is always a market/good home for the safe, reliable, useful horse.

I plan to never ever ever sell this horse; I plan for him to live out his years and retire in my care or, should something happen to me, on my life insurance dime under guardianship of the folks what I have designated.<br /><br />I still, sometimes, find it immensely soothing to know that, worst to worst in some horrible unforeseen circumstance? I could write a damn fine sale ad for that horse. Which is far, far less about the ad itself than it is about knowing that he has the background and skills to have every possible chance of landing on his feet.<br /><br />(Actually, I should probably send it along with an if-I-get-hit-by-a-bus update to said potential guardians…)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237668899993749427noreply@blogger.com
