Breeding and raising animals always comes with the risk of having to end a life that has lost its quality. To bring up the strength and set your own feelings aside to do the ride thing is a noble trait. Not everybody can do it.

my hubby's a vietnam vet, special forces. he's like you. it's a good thing... men who can be strong when needed and still have a tender heart. that's the best kind.
