Re: [RC] Breeding Paints - Zephyr Arabians

really find the relevance 
of saying that Paints and QH aren't over-produced
compared to Arabians. 

In addition, the bulk of the horses that go through
the low-end auctions or at the feedlots are TBs, QHs
or QH-types.  The Arabians get the "press" because of
the active Arabian rescue groups.  But, the Arabians
being dumped on the feedlots or through the
bottom-dollar sales are really few and far between in
the grand scheme of things.

This is not to say that poor quality Arabians are not
overproduced.  They are.  As are poor quality
individuals of all breeds.  I think a lot of the
"colored" horses are saved from the feedlots because
so many people will buy color regardless of quality
(this is NOT a dig on color; color and quality need
not be mutually exclusive, but low quality color still
sells).
