Re: [RC] Eating Living Things - Lucinda Carpe

I do know some show barns who sell their foals who don't measure up for 50.00 or 100.00 to 4H kids for projects. I have seen several foals who matured into the too small for showing in halter or performance classes for sale as 4-5 year olds (14 hands or so) nicely trained by these young folks and ready to be someones safe mount.
The farm where I bought my gelding, I know has done this and I have met the horses.

I feel certain that we've all heard about this show barn or that where foal
crops seem to disappear but unless you are ready to name names and cite
facts, even if they are only your personal "walk through the barn"
observations, it is not a good idea to repeat rumors. Hold your counsel.
