    Why are we blind to serious conformation faults?

    I totally agree with this when it comes to "type"...we all love our own favorite (Araby, QH, draft etc) and something like tail set is a perfect example. But a fault is a fault no matter what body type it's on. Club feet, sickle hocks, bad legs...the list goes on should not be accepted on ANY...

    Why are we blind to serious conformation faults?

    This is such an important point! It's so easy to breed your dozen mares to your stud if that's what you have...but I'm sure that one stallion couldn't bring out the best in all of those dozen mares. If you're paying $$$ for that special breeding then you're way more likely to make sure that...

    ROTFLMAO - THIS has to be one of the best quotes I've ever read - and so true Wow, that's crazy expensive when you're producing multiple colts!

    Why are we blind to serious conformation faults?

    Not saying for one moment that there aren't some very nice horses out there and that the breed may have come a long way but that doesn't change the fact that there are breeding horses being used that have faults that shouldn't be passed along. I'm also wondering if it's because you don't have...

    Why are we blind to serious conformation faults?

    Just what the title says... Just in the past week I've seen breeding animals posted that have SERIOUS genetic conformation faults that would not be tolerated in the big horse world for one second and these horses would be passed up by most owners even as geldings (one was very club footed, one...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    Tag - you took the words right out of my mouth. I noticed now they are scrambling to let everyone know it was a "joke". I don't believe it was a joke, and if it was - wow, bad taste considering people have died during this storm.

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    ohmt I'm 100% in agreement with you. I'm a scientist myself and have two sons in a well known research university. One is studying physics, the other chemistry. I'm also in full agreement that creationism is okay to teach. What I'm a little confused over is how it's taught as a science in HS...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    ohmt - I'm not sure that you're fully understanding what the word "theory" means in scientific fields. In the scientific world a "theory" is something that has achieved the highest level of scientific proof. In science there isn't anything above a "theory". It's not the same meaning that the...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    Barbara, are you saying that your husband - as a public school science teacher - actually offers creationism as a scientific option when he's teaching science? I'm 100% in support of people's right to believe in anything they wish to believe but I'm truly thrown for a loop that a science...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    Just want to clear something up about the word "theory" as it's used in science as opposed to how it's generally used in the English language. I pulled this straight off the web because the explanation is better than anything I could phrase myself. The "theory" of evolution is backed up be every...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    It's an easy google search. I'm more concerned that he's against teaching evolution in schools as fact! My god did he think the Tooth Fairy waved her magic wand and "poof" we all appeared. Talk about the mass dumbing down of America.
