And in fact, I get people who find one of the Sanctuary horses and ask if he's up for adoption. No, I promised them a permanent home. But if they too were standing in an auction, they would not catch the eye of anyone in particular. No one would pay attention to Bo because he's not a Quarter Horse and he's ribby. No one would pay attention to Maverick because he's sorrel. They'd turn and run when they met Rabbit. They would fall in love with Dude until they got him home and tried to ride him, only to discover that his back end is bad (unless he's having a bad day and he's off in the back that day). Everyone would look like a plan horse if they arent' given a chance to shine.
