From a buyer's point of view (and I am not a buyer and haven't been for 
years), I'd rather buy a horse bred for the purpose it was going to be used 
for, rather than a reject from some other breeding program/purpose.

And this brings up another education opportunity:  As someone mentioned I 
think yesterday - those ads for "endurance prospects" that are nothing but 
horses that can't be used for something else - I'd like to someday see 
buyers who are so knowledgeable that they would pass by anything but the 
real thing:  An endurance prospect bred for the job, from parents who 
succeeded at the job.  That's why an endurance breeders incentive program 
would be something really sweet (hint for AHA).
