[AT] New 8N/Now hay, coastal bermuda

[Bob McNitt]

Mike -

Same here in CNY. Every week the farm listings are full of "horses for sale" 
ads, and folks who responded with a buying interest have said the poor 
condition of many of them was disturbing, yet their owners would seldom come 
down on the price or admit they could no longer afford them. We're also 
seeing more cases of the SPCA stepping in where horses are on the verge of 
dying from neglect. Sad.
