Re: [RC] Genetic diseases - Elite

   Forgot to add my main point....   Sounds to me like a known SCID
positive stallion would make a wonderful gelding.

geneticists advise using gene testing to manage diseases and gradually
reduce their frequency, instead of simply using them as a
black-and-white
cull factor.

Yes, but who wants to take a chance that their SCID positive stallion will
sire a SCID positive foal when crossed with their mare of probably arab,
but
unregistered parentage?

I don't think you have to join a gym or buy frilly outfits to get some
fitness.  A decent set of shoes and a 15 minute dismount here and there
will help.
