I have been going to post something before about Gudmar and can understand you concerns about posting to the list. While I know that the criticism is meant to show concern for the horses it can be discouraging for people to post something with a very different point of view. I have known Gudmar and his family, mostly his father, whom I met about 30 years ago. I don't know Gudmar well but I do know him, by reputation, as far as selling horses go. I have to say I have only heard good things from people who have bought horses from him and from what I have seen he is careful and honest about matching horses and riders and fair about return policies etc. He has grown up in the horse business and, from what I know, continues to learn as much as he can. Once again I hope that the we can stay away from the polarization that happens on many lists and makes people hesitate to post items that may have different opinions or experiences without waiting to get blasted.
