You're right Lorraine. When I was first looking for an endurance horse, I was very interested in a gelding that was being ridden by a 75 year old woman in California. Very nice horse. Very nice lady. She had just been through a scam "purchase" by someone in Canada who sent her a cashiers check for the horse & shipping to another destination. Fortunately her bank recognized the check as bogus. It really fouled me up because she wouldn't agree to a pre-purchase exam, although at my expense, unless I was on site and I didn't want to drive all the way down there unless I knew the horse was sound.
