[RC] horse slaughter - rides2far

On a similar note....EVERY good breeding program will produce cull 
animals.  


99% of the horses I have seen at auction were there because of a lack of
TRAINING & dicipline, not bad conformation. Even an arthritic *trained*
horse is worth something.  If a horse is well broke his chances of ending
up at auction are substantially lower.  

Too many so called "Good breeding programs" are just a place where
animals are inbred to get something useless like a different tail, set
but also get a lot of strange problems that come along with inbreeding.
The horse that I got, that had been bred at a "high classed farm" and
gone through a breed auction was gorgeous...but every time he swallowed
water it came back out his nose. Which GETTING BACK TO ENDURANCE...was
something we tried to imagine capitalizing on by running a tube up where
it could trickle down behind his ears but just couldn't work out the
details.
