Some of these old guys were so wise. My Afi had work horses and they were his pride and joy. Mom recalls that they were always well trained (gently) and always in beautiful condition. Mom also recalls that Afi was known to purchase old broken down horses and then retire them to the pasture. I always liked that about him. He didn't have any more money than anyone else, but he always had a few retirees hanging around..
