Don't you LOVE how now, the topic has switched to everyone's favorite 'The 12 babies I produce every year don't hardly make a DENT when those evil big breeders produce hundreds every year to get ONE champion.'

BULLSPIT.

Those 'big breeders' are breeding horses that will likely NEVER see the inside of a double decker. Their pedigrees, their conformation, their abilities preclude them from that.

Whereas the irresponsible breeders, breeding horses with no proven ancestors in the first 3 generations with FUGGED up hocksets and conformation, with all the athletic ability of a sawhorse... are quite familiar with the low-end auctions, rescues, and double-deckers.

Interesting how they can turn it around so their beloved fug breeders are not at fault.

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
