[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1574220, member: 17956"] One of my simple pleasures is to read about horses and their care back in the day. No hock/stifle injections. No corrective shoeing. Almost no dental work. Certainly not to the extent that we have today. Ridden for work, and not pleasure. Took a pretty tough horse to have longevity back then. Allowed to season physically, and seldom broke before 4 or 5 years old. No futurities to blow up the mind of a good young horse. The difference in pictures of those horses, and our horses today are amazing. Structurally correct in every way. Had to be to make it under those conditions. Studs weren’t retired in their prime, without knowing how well they would hold up physically over time. Looking at a set of horse papers now days is about as interesting as watching a Hallmark movie. No papers back then, you bred for traits and not names. [/QUOTE]
