Re: RC: RE: Breeding for Endurance

[Don Pollock <donp@dcr.net>]

Hello Sandy,  I got my JR for $1,000 because he had Ferzons' head.  A cull as
far as his breeder was concerned.  Further in may sales contract I had to geld
him within 6 months of purchase because of that. I would have anyway because I
was not into breeding just riding.  I didn't say all horses in Endurance came
from culls etc. but I said "a fair portion".  With which some people agree.  I
too would support breeding programs for aimed at Endurance but also I don't want
not to be able to compete in our sport who cannot afford a $15,000 horse.  I
probably wouldn't have been here if I was faced with that.
