What an absolutely fabulous and stunningly generous gesture!  Muchas, muchas gracias, Gary, on behalf of all the horses that will be helped by this.

Leave it to you to say what I was thinking. $5K is a nice gesture, but more would have made a greater impact. Gary, how about, considering what just happened to Johnny V, giving a share to the PDJF? 

I know, you just can't keep some cynics happy huh? Glad he did it, regardless, as she backpedals......

Very classy gesture from Gary Stevens. I'm not gonna second guess the amount. Neither will the rescue, I bet. ;)

Why lean on Stevens, and not on the owners, of all of them.  After all, they ended up with a vastly larger share of the pie.

As to Gary's pledged donation, I think it is flat out wonderful.
