RE: [SPAM] Re: [RC] Arabian bloodlines - heidiTHANK YOU, Kathleen!
John, we ALL have topics that we delete unread. I really don't
care to read posts about some brand of riding tights when I found a
brand that works just fine for me, but heaven forbid such discussions
be "limited" on ridecamp simply because I find them boring and not
applicable. Likewise saddles, trucks, etc.
Genes are an integral aspect of how our endurance horses function,
and discussions of bloodlines are one of the only ways we have to get a
handle on what genes our successful horses (and unsuccessful horses!)
happen to carry. This is one of the more important topics of
discussion, IMO (certainly more to the heart of the sport than dogs in
camp and several others) and ranks right up there with proper
nutrition, proper training and conditioning, and proper management of
horses at rides.
I would hope that discussions of Arabian bloodlines would actually
PROMPT discussion of bloodlines in other breeds that compete in our
sport. And for those who would rather argue about LD, compare
human painkillers, discuss the merits of various brands of
trucks, or report the comfort of their most recent purchase of
riding tights, there's always the delete key.
