If one produces "too many" of anything, it makes no sense, regardless of
the quality of the product.
Is this breeding program any better than the Arab breeder in
Canada who overbred and just had 100 animals removed from his premises? Or
any other breeder in the world who feels their product is "premiere"? Or
the Spanish Mustang's (wild population, I believe) which had to be
rescued south of me, in Oklahoma, because pasture was lost?
My question was really directed to the motive behind having so many
without guarantees that they could all be provided for, even in times of
difficulty.
I have no interest in the "why" behind the reason anyone chooses to
breed. I just know that I spend my entire day volunteering to care for
these throw away horses of various breeding and quality. And now, the
program you are defending may well be adding to the herd here at our
rescue. If not these horses, someone else's "excess" inventory.
