No, but I was pleased he gave her to me. Later I felt bad that he took nothing, now I realize the only one who was taken was me! He made money from the color film crew. I guess that's where he got his rep as a 'horse trader'. I fed her, exercised her & curried/brushed her almost daily. (Free for 5 years - no less!). That's child abuse! I was happier not knowing. The only surprise was that I fell for it. Oh well he was my father, I guess I can forgive him.

Sorry if I brought back bad memories for you. I’m glad you had her for 5 years. I’m sure she was a special horse. I think I would have liked living on a farm. Horses have always had a special place in my heart.

Never fear I was more or less joking about the incident. I did confront him, he then ask me if I learned anything from it, which I did.
