Horse over population

[Sweet Sixy]

A couple of the horses at the stable I ride at have been rescued from the auctions. One of them was nothing more than skin and bones and is now a wonderful, spirited horse who loves everyone. It just breaks your heart to see people treat such a graceful creature like that.

Thank you for posting the video, pictures like that need to be shown for people to understand this problem. It's so sad.

I knew - from my own sad first hand experience - that backyard horse breeders exist, but I wasn't aware of the magnitude of the problem. You are all right about this, one should always keep it in mind, and act in a way that will not enhance backyard breeding.

Love,
Sus and Bella
