Oh - you've just had a bad week.
As for Harry, I'm sorry for my crankiness, ordinarily I'd be full of help, but we could give our best advice, and in two hours he'll post a vanity thread about the next idea he pulls out of his navel.
Three secrets of horse ownership.
1. While you sleep ... THEY eat.
2. The way to earn a small fortune in the horse world is to start with a large one.
3. There are two happy days in a horse owner's life. The day he buys it and the day he sells it.
This is what I learned in ten years and in owning over 40 horses. 19 babies born and two mares died of colic. One of founder that cost me $15,000 to 'save' her after which it cost me another $250 to put her down.
