The passion that drives one to dedicate one's life to preserving ancient horse strains can give rise to other passions that get in the way of that goal. Many of the most dedicated preservationist are hard core individualists. There is a time and place for hard core individualism, but there are also times that call for cooperation and team work.
Dr. Phil Sponenberg has lent his expertise to many organizations dedicated to preserving heritage breeds in general, and Spanish mustangs in particular. His observations on how to best work to preserve our horses are worthy of the strongest consideration.
If you have not read his great papers on the history of the Spanish horse in America today is a great day to get on the computer and do so.
