Fugly, WTF is wrong with you???? One moment she's bitching about breeding pinto's (agreed with her tho, the foal featured wasn't a good example) and dissing these folks with a skewbald stallion (I prefer to see confo shots before I make any call on that one, althought I thought it strange she was going on about his neck being so thick, every stallion I have ever met has had a crest like that to a degree, esp the QH-bred ones), but then she features a TB mare who has been 'bailed out of a bad situation' and makes out it would be perfectly alright to breed her. Um.... ok, maybe she needs to take a step out into the rest of the horse world over there. From what I have seen/heard, the USA is in the shit, financially. Seriously. Horses of good breeding are winding up on the way to Mexico and Canada, INCLUDING MANY TB'S, because people can't afford them anymore, there are NO homes!!!!!!! I assume the race breeders are still churning out thousands of foals and ex-racers every single year? So I also assume there is no lack of TB's available out there and in DESPERATE need of a good home. Like pretty much every other breed. Although I do note the 'made up' breed Vanners seem to be doing well, so much for all the shit people are hanging on their breeders. Why is she advocating breeding from TB's ONLY, and dissing the SHIT out of anyone who breeds from anything else? Believe it or not, Fugly, not everyone wants a TB. In fact that would probably be the absolute LAST breed I would look at. I need a horse with BRAINS, one who can THINK not just PANIC AND RUN!!!!!! I need a horse who will stay sound if it happens to be taken out of an arena (ok ok I know that's not fair, but let's face it TB's are delicate little hot-house flowers and could kill themselves in a cotton-ball filled tank), one who's hooves aren't going to be flat as hell posing soundness issues. Also I don't know if she's noticed but most new riders and horse owners are older and don't actually WANT to go cross country jumping or high level dressage or deal with highly strung huge horses, most people seem to want  a PET, something they can enjoy, love, potter around on, pop the grand kids on to pony around the yard. Sorry but few TB's meet that criteria for a novice owner. All breeds of horses are ending up at rescues, markets and slaughter yards. TB's are not immune from this fate, in fact I think they probaby are the main ones considering how many of them are churned out. Why the hell would you think it's ok to breed more of them? She clearly looks at rescues, and her obvious bias is in favour of TB's, so surely she see's how many hundreds and thousands of them are in trouble? Why? Why? WHY, Fugly?????

There's nothing wrong with having a preferred breed, hell I think I make it pretty clear Arabians are mine, but to diss another breed and then advocate breeding more of your own even tho you KNOW there's so few homes for the ones that already desperatly need them?That is just fucked up.
