One is retired, the other is an ornament that I ride once to twice a year to say I have.

I think it needs to be case by case, and we do have to try and help each other where we can. BUT, If someone has a history of not paying or being a late payer, I would maybe offer reduced livery, and then a repayment plan agreed by everyone going forward over a set amount of time, and in...
