    You don't mention your boarding/ farm situation. Would moving baby and momma to a 'retirement' type situation help with bills? Work with horse B for the winter, reassess in the spring. Won't hurt...

    I have to say I agree... $35 *should* include FB type rights. Now, rights to be put on a pro website or used to market? No problem with a higher fee.
