All but one were no-shows, and even the guy that showed failed to bring the horse that was the point of the meeting. He was actually a high-up, state DNR official (I won't say more, but I think it had something to do with he wanted to film it, make porn for the Net, and we said no thank you... so, he came just for a personal hookup.)
On another one, the wife and I were driving to meet at a Wisconsin farm for a pony, and that owner canceled enroute because he got a "better offer" -- a mom and daughter were coming up for Iowa. (As you would imagine, he got punked. I mean, WHO would fall for that, right? He tried to reschedule, but we were too put off with him after that to arrange another meet).
One was a woman friend. She was *so* fired up about sharing a moment with our dog with us. But when she was here, she drank and drank and then was too drunk to do anything. She later said she loved fantasizing about it, but when it came down to a real-life experience, she just couldn't go through with it.
So... we pretty much don't expect to actually ever meet. We'd *like* to experience a horse, but... it's no longer on the bucket list. Just an occasional, passing thought. We're fine if it never happens.
