Re: KILLER HORSES



    I have been watching this thread with interest---does anybody have any guess-statistics as to how many auction horses do NOT make the grade for every Cash that did?   Then, how about the same ratio for horses who were bred for endurance making the grade, and those bred for it failing??

Okay you all asked for it... one single word. about cheap horses CASH.. lest we forget Valeries horse that led her into some fame

Come on, Carla - there are stories everywhere of the rescued/cheap/abused (pick one) horse/dog/kid (pick one) that becomes a winner/saves a life/does something extraordinary (pick one).  If higher prices don't predict a winner, lower prices don't either. 

This isn't about price (although price is an indicator of what is being talked about).  I think it is NOT a good idea for people to think that the world is full of ugly ducklings that will become swans, livestock auction horses that will become winners, underprivledged small town boys & girls that become CEOs and lottery tickets that make instant multi-millionaires.  It's *possible* of course, but it's not likely and it's unrealistic to present the Cash's of the world as an example of how things are or could be.
