That pony is a GELDING!
They did SOMETHING with him...
there are FAR worse things going on in the horse world today that a not so pretty GELDING that someone took the time to show in 4-H... maybe they started him too young (if they did it was most likely because they didnt know any better, not for finacial gain).. but... by earning those lousy 4-H ribbons, that horse has a shot at a home instead of a one way ticket to Canada or Mexico.... go bash on the people who really deserve it.
