I don't care about Dressage one way or another but someone who lectures others who mock some of the things you feel strongly about has perhaps built a glass house.
Not that it matters, but it doesn't appear that you understand dressage at all, and are mocking it out of ignorance.

Ashkal was retired quietly early this year. The idea was bandied about that he didn't go to the Mile last year because of a nagging issue (suspensory, I think) and after the Citation, he never got back to "right." Jeannine has had him for months now.
Being a dressage horse is hardly a terrible fate. If he has suspensory issues, then he may be limited in the amont of jumping he can do. Dressage poses challeneges to horse and rider without the risks of jumping.

There are far worse fates than being a dressage horse ... Those that mock have little idea of the skill it takes to do it well ... To the uninitiated it may be like watching grass grow, but it is hard ... Maybe a little like Zen ... Many do not get it ... But it is nothing to be scoffed at ---and at a basic level helps all horses with soundess and coordination ... Seattle Slew was a klutz as a baby, and Paula Turner asked him to do a surprising amount and level of dressage to balance him ... I am sure it helped ... Mock not from what ye do not know ... That said, Miss SC, of course we are still friends .....

lets not forget that giving a horse a second career is what keeps them from being dinner....or breaking down on the track because they were forced back into a job they were no longer capable of doing after injury.

After reading through this thread I still don't know what a dressage horse is.At first I thought it was some version of a chinese thanksgiving.Where do they prance around? On the track near the starting gate during the races?
