"There is a rescue place in Joshua too, isn't there?"
I don't know, actually. I know there's one in the Stephenville area. I've talked to them a time or 2, when I was buying, to see if they had anything interesting. (they didn't)
There is a lady in Joshua that is probably a little better than a horse trader. I can't think of her name off hand but if anybody wants it, I'll find it. Anyway, she's one sharp cookie. For awhile there, she was buying horses at the auction, taking them home and rehabbing them, then selling them. She doesn't ask alot of money for them, either. She's also a racehorse trainer but I don't know if she's still doing that. I've met her, she's nice. Her place is a little dumpy but it's clean. Although, this was years ago when I met her, things could have changed. Wait, I remember her name, it's Donna Gowdy. I talked to her for a long time about tactics used by people at the auction, to sell bad horses. She said one time she was looking at a horse, before it went on the auction block, that was really quiet. She made a comment about it to the owner and he said the horse was always that quiet. She said she then kicked the fresh syringe laying at this guys feet and said, "Oh, yeah? What's that?"
Same guy sold Tiffney our pony ;~D
Well I'm still here:'(. Next weekend probably better but I do get impatient. My mom was telling me about Joshua and I found a webb site at one time but can't now. How was the arena riding?
