Re: [RC] BLM adoptions at Rides - sharp pennyHeidi said: I'm sorry that you seem to entirely miss the point here, Howard. Endorsing the use of the above products is in no way contrary to the dedication of AERC to the health of the horse. I don't think he has missed the point..where is a partnership with BLM contrary to the dedication of AERC to the health of the horse???? BLM, however wrongly they may go about it in some peoples minds, is never the less trying to keep these herds thinned so both those left out on the range and those put up for adoption get a better chance of having a longer, healthier life. AERC is not saying BLM horses are THE horse for endurance anymore than they are saying Sundowner is THE trailer for endurance. What several of us have said, in essence, is that it is counter to AERC's interests to sponsor mustang adoption. I still fail to see is this a counter to AERC's interests? Please spell it out for us *blondes* <grin> Neither Sundowner Trailers nor Susan Romero paintings are apt to suggest to any member of the public that they should use a horse for the sport that is not suited to the sport. only in your words (and a few others) are these horses not suited for endurance (assuming we all agree there are good and bad representitives of all breeds)..some are very well suited for endurance..maybe not the coveted "racing to the finish" to win the world kind of endurance but, how 'bout the mile after mile, year after year, finish is to win kind of endurance? I hardly think AERC is sending the message to run out and adopt a mustang to compete in endurance on simply by having them hold an adoption on the same site a ride is being held.
