Dear Valerie,

Thank you for your honest answer.  I agree there are far too many 
substandard horses being bred, for nothing more than a quick profit.  
Many of these people don't know their horses bloodlines which means they 
do not know the performance history or health history of the lines they 
are breeding.  How can they produce stronger and healthier animals when 
they haven't put in proper research?  You are completely right that the 
breeders are the first in line to accept responsibility for the excess 
abundance of unwanted horses and where they end up.  Let this be a 
message to all the breeders.  Every horse deserves a fair chance at a 
healthy and happy home.  

In the Northwest almost any day of the week you can find a horse in the 
local classifieds for under $1000.  How much it cost those people to 
feed and care for the horse and pay for any breeding fees, etc. must 
have cost the seller well over $1000 if they owned the animal even one 
year.  Yet supply of horses has become so great compared to demand that 
buyers now expect a horse to come cheaply.  No wonder the breeders are 
losing money on horses and the slaughter houses are profiting!  Breeders 
open your eyes and concentrate on quality - not quantity!!!!  Thank you 
Valerie,

Kelli.
