I know what you mean Tracy. I was talking about in endurance circles, where
people take the horse off the veld and expect it to do a 30/60/80 km ride,
then criticize the vets when they fall out or sell the horse because it is
useless.

I also agree that among alot of the showing etc. crowd they stuff there
animals with concentrates and then complain that "these THB's" are just
"hot".
