Re: [RC] slaughter issue - Linda Marins----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Coss" <coss@xxxxxxxxxxx> ... Now I read that many in the Quarter horse industry are killing foals at birth if they are not suitable for some reason or another...Evidently this is becoming very common and a dirty secret in many purebred barns--and even in the Arabian and other breeds. It has always been common. There were several famous Morgan farms--really famous and now hallowed--that routinely bred dozens of foals each year. When they got to be long yearlings, the farms would pick out the best four or five horses, register them, and keep them for training. The other 30 would go to the local auction house for...whatever. I long ago learned that you can't tell what a stud is capable of by only looking at his successes in the show ring. Go to the farm and look at *everything* out in the pasture!
