See in Spots: In my opinion?
You're right, this is exactly what my opinion is. The fact is, that the Nez Peirce weren't racing around on Quarter Horses, breeding animals to be sprinters that chase cows.

I wonder, would you think Thoroughbreds would be better off if they were all bred to look like sprinters with shaved down 'baby doll' heads? How about Arabs, Akhals, Andalusians? Who really wants a horse that's made to carry weight over a distance, or built to move rounded and balanced when you can go fast and chase cows? That is the end-all-be-all of it all, right?

If you want a Quarter Horse, breed Quarter Horses. Morphing other breeds into horses that look, move, act, and behave like Quarter horses is just so pointless. There are what? 3 million of themo out there, is that not enough or something?
