So... are you saying this was a happy horse or not? That it was content to be "your" horse (though not in fact really bonded to anyone), but lent out sometimes to others and go months without seeing you, or that this was bad for the horse? I'm just trying to relate this to Catkin's potential happiness as a horse ridden by several owners.
Maybe we should just stop discussing this. I just don't think it reasonable that one child out of eight be given such a disproportionately large one-off present, and you don't think it's unreasonable. I doubt we'll persuade each other! : )
