 I'd like to hear some pros and cons on this,  as I am aware that the
 opportunity to bring up horses this way is disappearing.   What  are any of
 you doing to compensate?

You won't get any argument from me.......Rushcreek Arabians raised (actually, 
they let nature and the mares do the raising, allowing their horses to live 
essentially "wild" until about three (I may be wrong on the age they'd "bring 
them in"")) Consequently, Rushcreek horses have the reputation of being 
sound, tough footed horses with good minds and good muscles.......
