The evolution this thread seems to be talking about is not "evolution"
in it's broadest sence. What you are describing is natural selection and
variation within a species. Evolution theory as created by Darwin
describes variation within a species transforming or transitioning into
a "higher ordered species" as his explanation of the creation.

We can't observe any transitional forms between species, nor have we we
ever found a missing link between any species. There is no reproduction
possible between species. It can't happen.
 
Evolution by Darwin's theory is like having tornado go through a New
York City garbage heap and end up with a Boeing 747 after it's blown
thru...just adding millions of years and blind chance to get the
conclusion. In Darwin's world a frog becomes a prince in a few million
years. 

I choose to believe The Sovereign God created EVERYTHING from absolutely
nothing in 6 days as He said He did. He allows us to enjoy and care for
one of His most awesome creations in our sport of endurance. Our horses
glorify their creator by  their beauty, strength, courage, and their
willingness to partner with us. We should glorify God by praising Him
for all He has done and is doing! The creation declares His glory....it
screams it.

-Thanking God for His creation everday I'm allowed to walk this earth,

Susan, Sabian, Fly Bye, and Blue Moon Dandee, all made for a special
purpose by the Living God who created all things.
