next endurance prospects

A few years ago Ted Jeary (Hyannis Cattle Company of Hyannis horses Fame)
wrote an articel fro the Southwest Distance Ride Association Gazette.  It
was a humorous piece based on his lifetime (fifty years) of breeding
arabian horses.  The title was "How to make a million dollars in arabian
horses".  Thge puch line, after some very interesting and humorous life
expereinces and true stories was "start with two million"

I have bred several horses here at home and had pretty good luck.  the goal
has been to  participate in the cycle of life and the pleasure of raisin g
the foals.  One or two have broken even, but it has never been the money
maker that everyone hopes for.  why keep doing it, and why do wo many
others?  There just aint nothing else like it.
there probably wont be a shortage of good horses, as there are too many
foks out there that just love doing it to stop, and eventually we have to
sell some to  make room for the next crop.  You never mind giving them away
if they are going to have a good home and there is hope for a happy life.
