RE: [RC] Advice on a stallion wanted - heidi

Well, considering that we are now in times difficult enough that
people are giving away good horses, turning them loose and even
putting them to sleep, why, I wonder would you want to BREED another
one? 


Um, maybe because she wants one that possesses the traits that SHE
wants??

Horses are individuals, with inborn traits and personalities, and are
not interchangeable like mechanical things.  No matter how many horses
are being dumped or given away, it is still often hard to find ones that
meet one's own criteria.  

Today's breeding trends have been to breed away from the sorts of riding
traits that many of us want--and as such, I don't blame people for
wanting to breed for their own use, if they have a mare that has the
qualities they want.

I don't mean to make light of the problem of overbreeding--but it is
just as short-sighted not to breed at all.

Heidi
