     I'm going to have to disagree on this one...Just because one horse, or a 
few horses, might have a problem with breathing due to a super dished face. 
(??) This doesn't mean all dished faced horses are going to have this problem.
     I would be interested in knowing how this conclusion came about.  Were 
these horses put on a tread mill of sorts and tested for this specific 
restricted air flow problem?
