- It's a predjudiced opinion, I think. I've known a few standardbred
- race horse owners who took the best care imaginable of their horses.
- I've also known of some louses, of course. And I've seen what was left
- of several horses after years on the show circuit, too, and it's a crime.
- Every class of horse owner, form the backyard pet owners to the high-priced
- Thoroughbred owners, has it's share of heroes and villians. Let's not tar
- people with a too-wide brush.
