On Conserving Super Horses: Saving the Corollas
A person whose experience was limited to modern horses was shocked at hearing that the Corollas could easily do fifty mile rides on one day to be followed with another such ride the next day, carry adult riders with no problems whatsoever, be trained to ride by children, and do it all with incredibly smooth, relaxed gaits, once huffed at me, "You seem to think that they are super horses!"
"Only when compared to modern breeds", I responded.
Here is our most recent colt produced in the Corolla offsite breeding program. Matchcoor is a warm and affectionate little athlete. A life of natural horse care, natural hoof care and being trained with natural horsemanship will bring his full talents into fruition.
Yes, super horses, in a very different category than most modern horses...and nearly extinct.
One cannot abstain from participation in this crisis. Unless one assists in preventing their extinction, one is clearly assisting their extinction.
