J., I am not a chopper. (Although I do LOVE
sarcasm!) I have been beaten and flamed so many times for "sharing". I
understand where you are coming from.
I think the info you give is very interesting and
appreciated. I had no idea.
I still don't understand how we can gather herds,
test for EIA and WNV, file feet, vaccinate and worm, but you say that birth
control hasn't worked? Why the heck not?? If we can hold them to draw blood and
give a shot, it would be just as easy to do a quick slice. OUCH! Why would
any one waste money on the "patch" for the mares? I don't get that one.
This thread may not seem endurance related, but if
there are as many horses as the numbers that have been written, it could leave a
bad taste in the mouths of those who feed our hunger for trails and wide open
spaces. No? Yes. I don't know what the answer is but after the holidays, just to
quench my thirst for knowledge, I will delve deeper and get some answers. Some
one sent me some sites, so "thanks" to them.
