I can understand that.....With Sally and I we take in and retrain
gaited horses, sell them or place them....without a location to
ponder we do not know whether it is even feasible to consider without
the location....West coast we can consider, east coast we just can't.
Sounds like a mare we could be interested in if we knew more, but
from the ad there just is not a lot of info to go on......and I have
found from experience that vague in the beginning can be vague
throughout horse talks......mabye not always, but that is my
experience from buying and selling....
