[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 588162, member: 6980"] This is a real problem. My vet and I had a long discussion about this a few months ago. As long as horses can't be sent to the "glue factory" anymore, there is going to be a glut. My vet tells me that he is seeing many signs of problems. Unwanted, uncared for horses. Horses that have no value to anyone. Horses that get abandoned. Horses, horses, horses, everywhere. About a year ago, I had a gimp horse that I took to the stockyard to sell. Had one and only one bid, and it was for $20.00. They called me and asked me if I would accept that, and the only response I had was: Is he going to give me 20, or do I need to pay him 20. I'll take the deal either way. Those good intentions of our government concerning horses have backfired in a big way. [/QUOTE]
