on the other side of this perhaps too many people have horses that need to be worked a lot. Years ago I had shaggy ponies, lived out 24/7 and hacked a few times a week - no problems. Now its all about breeding, blood lines, wanting to compete with the result that many are stabled more, rugged, fed too much and develope problems. Buy an athlete and you have to work them - I know I learnt this lesson at a cost when I bought an 'ordinary horse' that turned out to be a bit of a superstar that need hours of work to stay sane - I sold him as it was sensible but many would keep them 'because they love them and no-one else can look after them properly'. As they say horses for courses.
