I have a buckskin the same way he is 21 now and still as mean as ever. They say the reason the Indians were always mad was because they rode Appaloosas. I know what you mean.

I rode a tough raunchy hot blooded Appaloosa for over ten years, the most dirty tough goer I was lucky enough to own.. Same thing, he was a throw away colt, the folks couldn't even catch him. Him and I used to do 40 miles in a day in rough country. I wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill me, it was great. We are both crippled up together now..

And they quit the "worthless" horse, just like they quit on their puppy what grew up to be a dog. The description of our average wolf lover.

This equals out to $3500 a horse not including feed or Vet bills. Now that's a real money maker. Then the people adopting find some of them not suitable for riding and they either end up back on the BLM or at the bottom of one of those canyons.

It become counter productive again. There's got to be a balance there somewhere.

I agree with Sue Wallis “reinstating humane horse processing in the United State is the only moral and ethical solution to management of the growing number of excess wild horses.” I would add domestic horses to that also. Lots of horses are being released on BLM land because of the economic crunch and horse owners find they can no longer afford to keep them. My daughter in Idaho has a few head of horses. Because of the current laws she now has to go to to a lot of expense and work to get rid of a horse carcass. A few years back she could sell her aging horses so it was not a financial burden as it now is. Last summer we found where someone had dumped off a dead horse in a steep canyon south of the Clearwater River. Tom
