Question ???
Do we make a breed weak?
Long story, short ...
I know a man that had a climate control barn. His 4 horses never knew what hot or cold was ... it was always 75 degrees. (all year long) The riding rink was also under control ... For 7 years that was all they knew.
It was due to an untimely accident, in early spring that the horses had to be sold and giving a dose of reality... and friend bought all four horses, just to keep them together.
He lost two within a month ... the other two were, touch and go but holding their own ... for now ...
This has gotten to me ...
Out of our own "good" can/do we make a breed weak? ~ It can be any critter, horse, cow, goat or even a chicken...
Thoughts ...
