>>>> - don´t you think that half of the 5 thousand foals that are born each year and "saved" for riding is enough amount to do a research on?
No, Malin, that's not going to work for any sort of meaningful statistical analysis, not unless someone keeps track of all the reasons that 50% of all foals born are slaughtered. It could that cryptorchidism is a factor in some of the decisions to kill some colts. If a sizeable percentage of slaughtered colts are crypts, then theoretically, the whole problem could be hidden. That's simply not a valid statistical model. Karen Karen Thomas No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
