Very wise words indeed. Here are two examples.
I was asked to find a riding horse/cobby type for someone recently, budget £500 and very obvious that keeping it was going to be a problem. I declined and they went on and bought an unbroken youngster. Kept in less than ideal circumstances it is heading for 2k on vet care, no insurance and they have queried pts costs with me.
In a similar vein, there was a post in New Lounge a few weeks ago which concerned a horse which had been passed from pillar to post, the rider had little time to ride, and whose only fault was being difficult to lead in hand but which was described as good to ride. Immediately this heralded a chorus of "pts!" "pts!". It blood lust was sickening.
