Addendum

A long time has passed since I started this and though things are still sharp in my brain. My life is so damm busy it's had to find time to continue.
I had one or 2 hard starts at web email lists. Some to find that MOST people, are out for them selves only. And in no way is the injustice of the immanent death of a foal any way a cement to help one another. Even from people that are their own Country/ Province members This endeavor was not just about an innocent foal. It was about UNDERSTANDING. That and Good Common sense was in short order. I found out that I was hormonal, hot-headed, and could easily be led to my own slaughter..I could Empathise with these babies. Most of these people with their hand out to "learn" were cloaked in velvet to hide a very sharp demise.

From all walks of life, all had varying degrees of malcontent towards the farmers. Many it was crystal clear that money over rode their hatred.. It was still there. I can completely understand their hesitation in dealing with the average horse lover. They were completely veiled.

So when My visit of 2000 in Canada was made, and I was informed the farm had a phone call that was reminiscent of a bomb threat.. I could truly understand. Little did I know, that these same people worked really hard to screw up anything that entailed people working as a group that was apart from them. Anything that entailed forgiveness and understanding towards someone that had been duped or forged into a lifestyle by birth of ones great grand parents. It was your life.. You just went a long with it.

This I understand because I was a nurseryman's daughter. If I were the youngest son. I would have fixed Lawnmowers and developed landscaping skills far surpassing what I grew up with. So I understand what happens with second and third generation family.

So with Zest of the first internet group. I learned. I trusted a core of people and then it blew sky high. I was so duped that I lost every Internet site I originated. At this time there was no concrete legality of "INTELLECTUAL Property" I just did not have the monies to fight to get the first one back. Though this ones co-list owner was Canadian. She took all that was mine. Not being well loved for her Attitude, I'm glad she got back a bit of what she did to me. It hurt to see my original idea bastardized. She was in this 100% for profit and of that there was NO DOUBT.

The list went on under a diffrerent name and a small Board of directors..Most of which knew for years and trusted. I thought after a year I knew what the pitfalls were. And we were willing to go ahead and try to save a handful or 2 a year.
And though I'm still not in good health. I hand what little reins over to someone I was sure I trusted at least 3 people I thought I could trust. The story will unfold: But I will leave you with this epiphany...There is no trust when it comes to money, and power of running something/anything. In short, the only person that CAN "Screw you" is the only one you allow in to your circle to do so! You'd think I'd have known better the first time? Noooooo.

So with great zest, we save about 8 the first year and try to incorporate. There will most likely be side posts with interjections on wherfors and whys. But the meat and potatoes go up here and I will expand in side posts. ok? So with this I will go back and paint in my room...
