Exactly. That's why I couldn't understand the Chapmans selling Smarty Jones. I know it made sense as a business decision. But there was a guy who could barely breathe getting the horse of a lifetime. At some point you ought to let yourself stop making the optimal business decisions and savor what you've put together.

Kudos to the Nobiz owner. The self-insuring part is a little weird, though!
