Re: [RC] Understanding Mares/ Horse deaths - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: <heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I feel strongly that mares are (IMO) the most overlooked endurance resource out there, but as a breeder, I also feel that the ones that DO possess the traits to be really good at it are also the ones I need to breed to have a good breeding program. <sigh> Heidi Right.....and how do you know that unless they are ridden and competed? Personally, and I bet you agree with me; I am sick and tired of all the mares that get bred as 3-4 year olds, that not only have not DONE anything athletic, but have been pasture potatoes and have no muscle tone..... so how does anyone know if they are surefooted, smooth gaited or strong metabolicaly?
