I am sending this to the Journal today.
I would like to thank our board of directors for implementing their new and open policy and finally making it very clear as to how they feel about the value of the AMHR Miniature Horse and its' pedigree.
When I first found out about the lowering of the hardship fees, I was very hurt and felt it was a slap in the face to those of us who have been loyal for all these years. Many of us AMHR breeders have gone without, just to keep our AMHR paperwork in order. Now, to let the owners of a 100.00 not inspected - hard shipped horse enjoy the glory and reap the benefits of owning an AMHR horse is, I feel unfair. We have worked for years to give them a value.
However, I like to be told the truth and I guess I would rather have my feelings hurt than be used and patronized.
I am not totally against hard shipping horses, for a very high fee, if the quality is there and they meet strict requirements at three years old, but to do so with no inspections for 100.00, makes it pretty obvious as to what their view of the AMHR breeder is.
Again, I thank our representatives for their honesty and finally giving it to us straight.
