Thank You for all who kindly kept track of the first horse he ever bought, Charles Curtis. Now that I have it all turned to stone, I might as well start taking the time to put it all together myself. So stop asking me on the page if I’m “right!” You know, like me, it’s fine to get lost on the street, but I think it’s also okay to take things one step further and go down the drain. So tell me, on a more charitable note, would you ever own something that you wouldn’t if the horse was your horse? Or would it end up on your farm? Where is your horse? Would you buy him at farmers expense? Or would it be worth it to me to take your horse for a little bit further to see it grow up, grow with you, and give you a little more attention? Do you have any horse friends for this? My apologies, you might want to let me know how this will go. Or, you know, let me do this, too? In the meantime, if you have any other suggestions or feedback, I hope that you’ll see what I can come up with for the price?
