This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anna, there is nothing wrong with improving a breed but that is in the eye of the beholder. I think you are a bit strong in the"nazi" reference. Groups form for certain purposes. Nfhr is there to maintain the breed as it now is. Form your own group, "Fjords for the improvement of the quarter horse" Give those poor "improved" quarterhorses a neck that holds their head up and feet they can stand on. Or "Fjords for the improvement of Arabs." Give them girth and a soft temperament. But do not try to change an established group to fit your needs. You have a lot to offer I am sure. Jean
