[pct-l] Please, people. Don't do this

[Gail Van Velzer]

So totally agree!  I got a call from another equestrian a few days ago.  She 
is so unprepared.  When you have a horse and you need 10 gallons a day for 
each animal, it's a real problem.  She would not be disuaged, so I wish her 
the best, but I fully expect to hear bad things befall her.
Golly
