/\ What TRD said. I know a breeder who claims to have great horses but she isn't more than a byb with little regard for conformation and overfeeds causing joint disorders. She physically abuses the snot out of them from the time they are foals because she is afraid of them (she wants to scare them before they get big enough to really do damage) really sad.

"It's really quite amazing what a horse will do for you, if he only understands what you want. 
And it it's also quite amazing what a horse will do to you if he doesn't." ~ Bill Dorrance
