Euro, it's a tough issue to wrestle; you're right. And I think what makes it so hard is that, in the end, we'll never really know what the horses think about it. We can read their behavior, their eating habits, etc. and infer from that, but we'll never really know for sure what they think.
DTS, I'm so happy to hear that you breed for soundness. That makes my day to know some people in the game still prize it.
