What a racist statement!
Sure, they could have bake sales, car washes, etc, if they were
looking to buy brand new tack... I dont think that was the goal. The
goal was to teach the children horseman****p, as well as develop other
self-reliant traits.
Besides, even a highly successful car wash probably wouldnt net
enough for one saddle. If every member of the reservation bought a
cupcake, they could only buy a few bridles and bits
They were ASKING, not BEGGING
If you dont wish to donate, DO NOT, but keep your racist opinions to
yourself.
