This really made me sad when I read it. It just makes
me feel all empty inside to know so many nice well
bred horses are going to end up at the killers. I
think it's pretty much the same everywhere in the US. 
When people start getting low on funds, the first
things to go are the hobbies and luxury items (i.e.,
horses).  

As much as I hate to know that these horses will end
up as dog food, at least they won't end up neglected,
abused and starved. This is a good lesson for anyone
who wants to breed their grade mare with questionable
conformation to that neigbor's stallion with the small
feet and short pastern. When experienced and reputable
breeders can't get rid of their horses, it's time to
spay and geld. If you really want a colt to start, get
a "store-bought" weanling from a good breeder.

Endurance horses are so fortunate to have owners that
love them and provide them with a job to do.  Now go
give yours a big hug and take them out on the trail.
