There is currently a big herd dispersal being conducted by a breeder that sought to preserve a particular type of mustang. It is causing many who care about the preservation of the Colonial spanish mustang to question the future of breeding these horses.
Many point out that breeding the horses is only part of the job. They stress that it is equally important to train the horses and to offer fully trained or well started horses to the market place. I agree, but even this does not go far enough to insure the preservation of these horses.
We must create horses and we must train them. We also must create riders and we must train them. Without a new generation of riders there is no hope for the horses. It is not brain surgery. If you understand horses and you care about kids, you can teach kids to ride.
The mustang's competition is not the Quarter Horse or the Arabian. It is the X box and the Iphone.
The best way to save the lives of the horses is to give a kid a life.
I 100% agree with you on this. Too many kids are sitting in front of the TV or Monitor screen addicted to these pointless games. Some even spend extra money to get there characters new wardrobes and such. And this is not even real. If a kid had a horse or even some other hobbie that would get them moving and using there physical bodies and there minds our kids would not only be healthier but happier.
