Definetly agree with this. They are stored for 6 months. You have to pay to have this done but this sounds suspicious!!

I can tell you one not to touch but gets recommended on here.

AVEAT EMPTOR Young man if perforce, you must purchase a horse, Then of dealers like paddy beware Of people whose words, from the trees can charm birds, Or the cash from you wallet take care! I went to his farm and fell for his charm, when he showed me his "Wonderful Horse". With his...

This is so true Flame. The "real" horse comes out in the Tracing Ads.
