If people were just honest

... less horses would be failed.  Poor Ru is with a family down in Essex, they seem absolutely lovely, they have been utterly miss sold a near as dammit unbroken 12 year old half Criollo who's had a bad foot injury as a bombproof pony for their eleven year old daughter.  The sad thing is I saw this coming a mile away, I tried to buy her back.  I correctly guessed the trail of low end dealers that moved her down the country with one exception - she was at bloody Appleby too.  Totally and utterly thrown under the bus by both her previous two owners for nothing but greed.  She turned up at her latest home covered in cuts and thin and yet is still described as an absolute angel in the field, kind, calm, comes to call and does everything else you could ask of her.  You wonder how people sleep at night.
