I saw blatant condescion, and recognize it. And I'm not going to debate it. After the thread where I was told that slaughterhouses are humane by this poster, despite the evidence at hand, and this poster knows it all, I don't want to read the same thing about crossbreeding. b) apparently you side with her that fjord breeders are irrational and fearful for keeping the fjord horse pure. I say the people I respect on this list who have been breeders for years are the ones who are educated and caring of the breed. And I'll listen to their thoughtful views with a more open mind than somebody coming into the breed with an attitude and telling everybody they don't know anything. :) and c) comparing fjordhorse breeding to mixing ice cream flavors? ~shudder~ Pamela <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/northhorse/index.html";>Northern Holiday Horses</A>
