Because there's no bottom price for horses and the market is suffering of such overpopulation, I'm afraid we'll run into a lot more of this. ANYONE can get their hands on a horse, no knowledge needed!

The bartender from my work stopped by on Sunday with her 19 and 13 year old daughters and they spent some time loving on and getting friendly with the horses... their mother was telling me about a family that is related to them that JUST bought horses for the entire family (4 or 5 in total) - I made the mistake of saying "That's how the market is now, anyone can afford to fill their pasture with horses!" - the older daughter wants a horse now! She got along well enough with B, but...

I WAS sure to talk about the overpopulation and euthanasia and some of the "not so pretty" elements of horse ownership, as well, though.
