Re: [RC] breed standard - Zephyr Arabians--- Kat Forst <kskhechance@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Lastly, to all the others that posted responses. I appreciate it greatly. Her report is due Mon, so I am closing the discussion. You can continue it if you wish, it was starting to interest me! Lol, Thanks again!!! Well, I'm late joining in. Heidi and I have discussed this before. :) I support the inspection and approval process for *open* studbook registries (ie. warmbloods and the new "sporthorse" and "sportpony" registries). However, after discussing it with Heidi and thinking about it more, I don't support inspections/approvals for closed studbook breeds. If you want to do it voluntarily (like ARABS was trying to do), that's fine. But, forcing it on breeders -- especially in a breed that varies wildly in types -- isn't appropriate. As for Friesians, which are closed studbook and use inspections & approvals, well, I guess you better know that when you get involved with the breed and decide if it's for you or not. Friesians are a breed without much variation in type, so the inspection process has helped them shape the breed to an exact standard. Would we want that in all other breeds? ~Nicole ===== * Zephyr Arabians & KattWmn Web Design * * http://www.zephyrarabians.com * * http://www.kattwmn.com * * From the "Horse Capital of the USA" Norco, CA * * * * You have the right to remain silent, anything * * you say can be misquoted and used against you. * __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
