This message is from: "truman matz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here I am messing where I shouldn't be again, but it sounds like this is coming down to a "class" distinction in owners,... those who have mega bucks, and those who don't. Why don't those who DO have the money, go ahead and DO the 100 Day Testing, promote their stallions, and then get the mega bucks they deserve for their breedings or from their off-spring? Why push for something as a REQUIREMENT that ONLY the rich can afford? Why put the little breeder out of business if he's got satisfied customers? Now, I don't yet own a Fjord, so I'm not really part of this thing. But one doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that if all stallions are REQUIRED to do the 100 day testing, folks like me and some with a lot more money than me, would either have to mortgage our homes to buy a Fjord or end up buying some other breed. And that would be a shame Judy-----Original Message----- From: Karen McCarthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com <fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com> Date: Saturday, January 20, 2001 12:35 PM Subject: Re: Natural Selection of Stallions -
