Thank you, quality over quanity, I say this having
just rescued a skin and bones last weekend, her previous owner had too many foal
this year and had no room or feed for her. You can count her ribs and her
vertebre, it is disgusting and this is a reputable Arabian breeder in our
area.
I'm waiting for the vet to arrive now.

ET may not actually increase the number of foals as the
market will only bear so many
problem is that the market is not bearing what is being
produced right now, as the number of Arabians going to slaughter or requiring
rescue bears out - and yet ranches keep breeding dozen - or more - each
season. Thsi is what troubles me, as much as your statement about narrowing
the gene pool - indeed a profoundly troubling idea.
