Today my daughters pony club is going to a horse rescue facility. At Christmas, the kids decided that instead of giving each other gifts that we would buy gifts for the rescue horses and also do a blanket drive. I am sure I will be seeing plenty of grade horses and purebreds as well. If ONLY people would be more responsible. Responsibility begins with the person who breeds the horse.

BUT, for a breeder to knowingly breed for a purebred foal that won't be able to be registered is just not right. That is what, I think, Kiola and others are trying to get at. If a breeder cannot afford to, or is not willing to, follow registry rules, then they should not be breeding their horses.

There are many reasons why someone may not want to pay or can not pay the registry fee - especially considering current economic times. That by no means indicates that they don't love the breed itself. A registry is NOT the actual breed.

I will not support a purebred registry that would allow for irresponsible breeding. Accidents only happen because a person was not acting responsible. The bending of rules is WRONG.

Change will only come through a the democratic method of voting. If a person REALLY did care about the breed, they WOULD make cuts in other areas of spending and join the registry. I realize that this may seem offensive, but it is true: Talk is cheap.
