I am curious, Cheryl, what do you think of what Christopher said? I don't know who he is at all, I suspect he has been fed these things by others more established in the breed, I heard each and every one of these things said, and I had finally had it with those people, never want to see their faces ever again. I think we are here to try and think about the welfare of the Icelandic, not the welfare of the people involved with them. Sorry, but the people can advocate for themselves if they want to, they are good at that. It really almost turned me off for good to be told these things in person, picking on certain ponies and saying they should or would be eaten. Why? There was no good reason at all as far as I am concerned, it was just meanness. I had to separate the breed from the people, they are very different things. I'm not in to horses to socialize with people, it's ok sometimes, but really it probably wouldn't bother me if I spent the rest of my life alone with my horses, without any horse people around. That's what a person says when they don't know how to really handle horses, they blame it on the horse, so convenient, then take it one step further and say let's eat them. That is pretty worrisome isn't it? It is for me, I would guess horsemanship wouldn't develop that far when you just eat the ones you don't know what to do with, and just start over with a new one. Disposable horses, just like Kleenex. Nobody is going to learn a lot about horsemanship like that. I choose the horse over the person, especially when they say things like that about them. Kim
