People won't sell their horses unless they can get what they think they are worth....and horses are not bringing much money these days. So horse owners are waiting forever for a better market...not realizing that every day they keep the horses, they are simply spending more of the precious money that they don't have. The guy had plenty of chances to sell or give his horses away if he couldn't afford to feed them.
Hey, what if those of us selling cars would add on to it's value to make up for the expenses of the gas and oil we used?
