Thanks for helping me out about Hilltop, that's great of you :)! Also once you said rescue horses you had my attention... You have no idea how many times I have come between horses and abuse... in the STB world that happens daily... it gave me a bad rep for a 'do gooder' but such is life...

If you know stbs, than you will know both sides of his family... we were lucky enough to stay at Joe Stutzman's place for a few months, and as you might of know Gallo stayed there when he was in Canada... I got to talk to the people that looked after him here quite a bit, plus the people that watched in horror as some of the people (not all), were really cruel to that great horse! In the states they were good to him we heard, but here their attitude was that he didn't make the money for them! That was their words when one fella stopped the abuse to his mouth by a chain.. Gallo also had attitude, and could be very dangerous until they sent him away at the end of his carreer and now he amuses himself with children... no one to rough him up??? He has mellowed a lot... he too is known to stare off and watch the world around him... very smart and very interested in everything.

Take care.
