Re: [RC] "pound dog" mentality for horses? - Lif StrandAt 07:25 AM 9/4/2004, Truman Prevatt wrote:I heard a blurb on NPR during the olympics about one of the horses on the US eventing team. He an ex race horse, worked as a pack horse and was picked up by the rider for about a 1000 bucks out of the paper. He turned into a world class eventer and represented his country in the olympics. Did the story tell what the breeding history of this horse was? Heck, with good bloodlines, successful track racing and packing would be an excellent conditioning background for an Olympic athlete. Did the story tell about the thousands and thousands of former race horses and pack horses that didn't make it to the Olympics, by the way? Another Cinderella story! ________________________________
