Funny how these old threads get resurrected.

I have two comments I'd like to post regarding such items. Poorly executed, but with additional work as well as adapting to their quirks one CAN make them passable.

My first comment mentions "polishing" a certain item...but that one may get me a demerit.

I will relate something wise my Ve t once mentioned as I helped him work on a truly unruly, constantly problematic horse. "With so many good horses out there...Why keep a bad one"?
