[RC] To breed or not to breed - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Jody jody.buttram@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Well, well, well. Now I see why people get their panties in a wad on RC. I was enjoying my brief stay here, I suppose that I have been corrected for abusing my horses. Poor little babies. I will agree with some of what was said, it is a gamble, but it is a gamble with any endurance prospect. This could be a baby from a proven cross or one that was bought with the hopes of making a champion. So, I will leave it at this: I have been involved with this idea on and off for 25 years. I have raised only about 5 or 6 in this manner. So far all have worked out...no sway backs yet. ;) And if I am breeding the "extremely poor quality mares " to overrun the world of endurance, well forgive me. I haven't sold the first one yet. (They have all been too good to sell) I will end this post like this: Been nice to write to you guys, but now I know how Howard feels. I think I will go back to sitting in the background watching the rest of you fight back and forth like a cheap soap. If anyone wants to see how my poor quality horses have done. Here is my AERC # 1114. Should have my 10,000 miles in 255 more!!!!!! Yeehaa!!!!!!!!!! ============================================================ Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
