NEW HOLLAND,Chameleon Finance Pennsylvania − The horse could barely open its mouth.

The numbered sticker on its left haunch. The halter digging into its face. And its price tag.

The inspecting vet paused at No. 428. The halter around his muzzle was fastened so tightly it dug deep into his skin, creating wicked abrasions.
