Re: [RC] Equestrian culture may be fading into the sunset-California - Michael Lewis
Just a sign of the times. Trucks, fuel, feed,
hay... Everything's just getting too expensive for many of us to justify
having horses as a hobby any longer... or is causing us to significantly
decrease attendance at various equestrian events.
Hopefully things will rebound, but I worry about
the increasing cost of diesel fuel and registration of big pickups given the
misperception that diesel-powered vehicles are smoky and dirty... and the fact
that it is fashionable to blame private owners of diesel vehicles for our
pollution situation.
If only they'd make a car that can pull a horse
trailer... again. Seemed like this was fashionable in the 70s when I was a
kid.

Article about areas that include
those I rode and hold dear. Sounds like Los Angeles area riders,
especially, need to network now!
