Interesting, just this morning while I was out riding I had an exercise rider 
from the local training track 
stop me to talk - she has a 4 year old thorobred she needs  " to find a home 
for" free and says there 
are alot of cheap horses ( $100) that she knows of that people are trying to 
get rid of.  I asked why and 
she said " now that the killers aren't buying there is no where to get rid of 
these horses".  Sad.  And 
this is in the heart of ' horse country'.
