You won't win any converts with that argument. What do you do with a 
horse that can turn 20 million in stud fees his four year old year on - 
keep racing him? I don't think so. What do you do with a 16 year old 
gelding - Arabian to boot -  that is sound and usable, riding him is 
about the only choice.

The way you beat public perception is to bring them out to a ride and 
show them how the ride is run. Of course I've been at some endurance 
rides where I've gotten sicken at what was going on. Ten horses on IV's 
is not a pretty sight and it does happen. We still have some work to do.

While public perception can take on a life of it's own - the basis of it 
is usually based in some truth.

We still have work to do.
