Progress Postponed



The Horse of the Americas Registry reached out to the Spanish Mustang Registry registry and asked that each registry work together on projects to promote and protect the remnant of America's most historic breed. With all of the other crisis facing Spanish Mustangs the last thing they need is to have their supporters divided against each other.

The initiative on the part of the HOA was farsighted. The Spanish Mustang Registry's Board of Directors declined even this small but vital step to save the horses. This action was disappointing but not unanticipated. For the sake of the breed this decision must not be cast in stone.

There are too many good people in the SMR to allow that to happen. The action of the SMR postpones progress. I have no doubt that cooperation between the registries is still on the horizon. I suspect that the door will remain open on the part of the HOA.

This little filly was born in March. She does not care one whit about personality conflicts, past disputes, turf wars, or placing blame.

Neither do I.
