No kidding this has run on too long and I never would have jumped in  
until this case was discussed on RC.  To me it actually says alot  
about breeding and rescues.

Did Heidi know she was a responsible breeder who would absolutely  
care for her own? Yes.

Was the rescue's experience with breeders the same? Absolutely no.

There are always two sides to every story, which was my point in the  
first place. Until Heidi, breeders (most were show breeders) only  
dumped horses. Of course the AHRN were concerned and wanted to be  
sure of what the facts were before releasing a crippled colt back to  
a breeder.

My mares? One dumped by her breeder, one dumped one lease away from  
her breeder, both papered, both lovely mares just thrown away. The  
two mares I fostered? When their adopter finally returned from abroad  
she took them to an A-Teke breeder and is breeding endurance horses  
from a mare that broke my friend's leg and tried to kill me numerous  
times. That mare was crazy and abused and is now making little  
endurance horses. Great.

The AHRN's experience with breeders was such that trying to get the  
horse out, transported and safe was the paramount thing. when all the  
facts came to light, Heidi got him back. If you all knew the hell  
that many of the AHRN's horses and their experience with breeders you  
would understand the concern they had. I was on the property the  
whole time that went down, and concern for the horse came first- 
obviously for both sides who couldn't see the other's perspective at  
first.

Sounds familiar, huh?
