Re: [RC] Arabian Numbers+SUPPLY & DEMAND - heidiOh no it isn't a free ride, sifting through prospect after prospect, to find the right combination of ability and heart, The availability is already very low when compared to the availability of average to poor ones being bred at a breath-taking rate up until recently, with the "rejects" finding their way into cheap auctions and often on to the endurance trail, where they may or may not be particularly suitable, either. One would hope that the drop in production might reflect a drop in the "big" barns breeding megafoals in order to "sift" for the stellar show horse, fully intending to dump the remaining ones. Unfortunately, the show ring has had such a negative influence on quality that there are a lot of horses being bred that are really a crapshoot, even if the meganumbers decline. It has been my hope in trying to educate about breeding, conformation, biomechanics, and metabolic heritability that people would be able to cut the sifting process short by going straight to the sources of horses that have continued to be bred for these traits.
