i was reading the above article, and it brought to mind this thread. because what she is talking about here is one of the reasons why horses aren't getting faster-and may well be getting slower.
ok, not one of the reasons. THE reason. used to be that breeders bred to make a better breed, that is no longer the case. now, it is how quickly can i get a big, fast ROI. the breed and its future are no longer a concern, just like for many in the corporate world, the future is now. what i want is now now now, to heck with down the road and what the consequences will be, i just need to make mine NOW.
and the horse will pay, and then the sport as a whole will pay.
