I love looking at all of the new foals each year, but recently have seen some announcements of new foals with their dams in the background and the mares are extremely "poor"....backbone sticking up...hip bones sticking out....and these mares just had a foal....now they have to nurse those foals for at the very least three months....should be longer....but those poor mares will most certainly be nothing but bones after three months. And the people just keep buying more and more horses....you would think at some point they would just stop and get a grip on what they have before they would even think of adding more. I just don't understand, but it certainly is a pet peeve of mine. Anyone should be able to see "skinny".....but I also think it stems from people feeling like they need at least 100 horses to be in the business.
