I have to agree with Una on this—horse welfare beyond mission readiness doesn’t belong here on the MSAR list.

We are faced today with an economy that won’t restart, confidence in the future as low as it has ever been and an unwillingness to spend government or private funds to

get it started.  In the horse business, and it is a business, this has resulted in oversupply for years, depressed prices, and no place to recoup investment. We shut down

slaughter, which put about 100 000 unwanted horses into French stomachs, we shut down the {MU operations which brought forth a flood of sport horses.

 

If you can make a commitment for 20 years to care for and support a horse, buy one, don’t go to a rescue and adopt one, buy it outright, accept the responsibility of ownership.  Horse rescues and dog rescues should be outlawed as charities.  They are nothing more than rental agencies for animals.  They have to make a profit on each transaction to sustain their administrators, real estate, and paid care staff. There are plenty of “used horse dealers” out there without dealing with a “rescue”.
