[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1168339, member: 16453"] Ron my FIL was an old horse dealer, he and his mates were the biggest con men going. They always had a group of kids and adults around them that "brought there own wages". They themselves wouldn't work in an iron lung, always had a sore shoulder or something so they couldn't stack bales of hay but the kids would jump in and do it. Even when he gave up the dealing and was training race horses there was always the free labour around, he was a great organiser. One thing that he was amazing at was loading horses onto trailers or trucks. Once people had paid the money for some mongrel brumby there was no way they weren't going to get it off the place. Funny though my wife Pam still thinks that every horse he sold to kids was an improvement on what they had, even if they had to grow into them and he had done them a favour. He is dead now so I don't try and argue the point with her. That's a great photo Ron. Ken [/QUOTE]
