Next morning she had some heat in that same knee so the owners (my brother and step dad) said that's it were not gonna torture her. They told me they quit on her and I said I'd be down to get her before the end of the week. We had named her after my grandma and I wasn't going to just let her go to just anyone. I will use her to trail ride and whatever, Maybe breed her to a quarter horse, barrel racing is huge up here. But she will be taken care of and I can sleep at night.

Bravo!
