hope it makes you feel better if I tell you met the man who owned these horses and they are treated like children. The were free to roam even with the rope. The only time I saw he used it was when they were to walk the road.

The owner is Mr. Gilford Scott an extreme environmentalist who thankfully owns thousands of acres along the coast and (so far) refuses to sell to developers. He's a character but a wonderful soul

I don't want to understate your feelings, tho, Billy I am a huge animal lover as well. I appreciate you speaking on their behalf.
