And horses that are already here, I do like to see having good homes. I'm happy you are buying those crossbreds and spaying/neutering them. It's just a shame though that they are out there being bred and having to be rescued. Sigh. I feel the same about the dogworld. Too many animals are being brought into the world due to lack of spaying/neutering, and there life forces are just as valuable as a purebred. Most of my dogs have been rescued mutts. If people would breed responsibly, we wouldn't have to rescue so many dogs and ponies. Pamela <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/northhorse/index.html">Northern Holiday Horses</A>
