I admit I can be naive at times, but this has been bugging me for a while now. Are there some minis that have been surgically altered for show purposes?
I had a trainer said to me once while looking through either the Journal or MHW "oh, that horse has been altered" and she talked about how a tendon or muscle or something could be cut in the neck to give more of an arch. Is that possible? Do people to that?
Also, some websites I've visited say things like "none of our horses have been surgically altered to enhance conformation..."
So, WITHOUT naming names, are there some people who have surgeries performed to change something conformation-wise in their horses? I have no doubt that it's possible, but do people really do it?
Maybe this is too sensitve to even discuss, but I'm sure hoping someone tells me that the trainer was mistaken and this doesn't happen. :no:
