Re: [RC] Arabian Horse Numbers - heidiIt is difficult to breed for what others want. Yrs ago read an article that said one should breed for what one likes. In US, there are just a lot of people with a lot of different likes. My experience is that if I breed horses that *I* would care to ride, there are others who will appreciate riding them as well. The problem comes with breeding "living art"--then it does become much more a matter of taste, and much less a matter of the ability to do a job. As a matter of fact, there is a movie out: In Pursuit of Virtue, which is about the transition of the Army from horses to motorized vehicles. Won't say anymore as it is a movie worth the watching, especially on rainy days. BTW, when WWII started the US Army was still using horse drawn equipment, as well as most of the European countries. Actually, the movie is called "In Pursuit of Honor"--and I agree it is a "must watch." Fabulous movie, some terrific photography, and based on a true incident. Not one of the US Army's finest hours, but certainly some of the US Cavalry's finest men... I re-watch this movie every few months, just on general principle...
