Do realize, though, that the majority of good endurance horses don't
come from the big "assembly-line" farms but rather from small to
midsize breeders who are very serious about what they do. As a vet,
I've been far more impressed with the knowledge and effort on the
smaller farms vs. many of the big farms, where oh, well, that one
doesn't matter.

 

thanks Heidi. As a small farm that produces one or two foals a year, they HAVE to be good ones. If one turns out badly, then we've lost a year's worth of work. We can't just "cull" it to the sale barn or some other fate and make our money on a dozen others. Each foal born here matters. Thus their dams and sire matter and are cared for well.
