[RC] The Old Way (was: Spanish Mustangs) - k s swigartTerry Bannister said: Just this weekend, a very knowledgable equestrian friend made the comment that a particular squealey, kicky mare we ride with should be bred, and that would take care of her behavior issues. In the old days, that may have been the simple solution. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, and this very experienced trainer/ equestrian is still thinking the old way! Actually, the concept of breeding an unpleasant, squealy, kicky mare to improve her behaviour issues is actually a very new way of thinking. In the old days, useless, unmanageable, ill-tempered or unwanted horses were just shot and eaten (or fed to the dogs). The concept "Oh no, we cannot just kill the low quality ones, we should breed them instead," is a the new one. Indeed, times have changed, and breeding useless horses instead of just killing them is one of those changes. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
