well gosh karen, its ok, because it happens so much here in the USA with walking horses, after all, thats where the abuse is, and as long as we can point fingers at the hillbillys we dont have to even consider these classy people in expensive pants and mountain horse boots breeding the signature gait right out of the breed because that would never happen. Everybody knows that. because they are so much SMARTER than hillbillys in overalls so much less CRUEL than people with missing teeth and coarse toilet paper.so it cant be THAT bad like it is here in the USA where people wear overalls when they do it. (of course we'll just overlook the fact that Princess Margaret paid for a $160,000 biglick horse shown in the US for a while so we can pretend only poor trashy people show walking horses). Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
