I'm no expert either but when you peel away all the issues surrounding what happened, the big picture is breeding. It may not be the cause of 8 Belles but, in general, you are spot on.

Steve's been on this for a long time and has brought this up repeatedly. For those of us that have been around this sport for 30 years it's juts amazin to see what has happened to the breed over our life time.

As with anything, the real question is the future. With no one leadership for the industry nothing will be done and it will get worse. With all the good horses leaving the sport at 3 or 4 what will their offspring leave us with? Hopefully a few lines with better overall conditions will emerge. If not, the next generation is in for a really bad time.
