Take the neighbour's (or anyone's) free hand-me-down horse
that hasn't been ridden in two years.
Buy your super horse sight unseen from a picture on the Internet.
Buy him after your rode him once under the best circumstances.
Listen to the now-your-best-friend coach (horse dealer) that you met last week.
Listen to the big-name-trainer who really just wants you to buy a horse for himself!
