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

[Bob McNitt]

Steve -
Right on. We boarded saddle horses on our farm when I was a kid. I'd say the 
majority of owners had a "they're just like owning a dog" mindset. Not a 
clue as to what they were getting into or doing. At least they were smart 
enough to pay us for doing what they never knew needed to be done, and the 
horses were better for it.
