>>>> And I didn't really let her go, it wasn't really my choice, she died, she was just the greatest horse to me, I didn't really want a different one, but I can see that to a lot of people, this would not have been a good match, I think she would have paid for it mostly.
When I wrote what I wrote, Kim, I was thinking about that horse, Raudi/Raud, whatever they are calling him now. I've watched him be for sale, what? Four-five times maybe in the last two years? He's never been anywhere long since his early training fiasco. And - I think there was some question as to whether this "Raud" is actually the same horse as "Raudi". I saw someone recently quoted Heidi G (can't remember her last name) as being one of his past owners (agents?). She had Raudi at one time, back about March, I think, so if we know that she also had this Raud, then that almost cinches that he's one and the same....just renamed possibly to attract new people. How can anyone expect a horse to settle when he's only in a home for a few weeks to a few months? ESPECIALLY a horse with big issues...? I wonder when in that time frame he supposedly went to Monty Roberts? The best I know, as of March-ish 2007, that hadn't happened, but I could be wrong. When a horse is being marketed under a new name, one has to ask LOTS of questions why. I even wonder if the Monty Robers connection is true. Maybe it is...? I'd love to have him...but I won't BUY him, and foster the cycle that ruins so many horses. Karen Thomas, NC, "if you don't rescue, don't breed."
