Quote:Which I think is a good thing on one hand, and perhaps a not so good thing on another. Because of this, many feel is one reason the gene pool is tightening so much. More locally or regionally located horses are not being utalized because now you can be in opposite ends of the continent and transportation is not an issue.
Quote:As far as embryo transferes go, I think it's a good thing, but I also think a mare should be limited on number of registerable offspring per year. This is another thing that can also lead to the tightening of the gene pool, and it cheapens the foals out of the super mares because now there isnt just one yearling each year.

Quote:Maybe it's my growing up in the TB industry talking with some of this, but for someone screaming about outcrossing, I cant believe how you cant see some of the problems with all of this.

Quote:I think cloning is bizarr and ethically wrong. emiweebee brought up cloning for organ harvest and that is a another real concern. Once the cloning of animals is a accepted thing,not so bizarr, whats to stop it from going to people? All things take progressive steps forward.
