Re: [RC] Still on breeeding ............ - Kristene SmutsI see the long backs in the rejects--but if one goes to the big barns in places like Lexington and looks at body proportions, one rarely finds a poor one>> And unfortunately the former is in the rest of the world. Breeding farms will breed 200+ foals per year, hoping for that one stunning cup winner, literally giving away the rejects to those newby riders who think that a cheap or free horse is the way to get into horses! They then have to deal with the other TB drawbacks - as you say "shallow, shelly feet, temperament", amongst others. I've seen more wrecks and broken hearts due to those rejects than not, sadly.

Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each other doesn't get anything done. ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
