Subject: Friesian Buying- Support the Importers
In reply to: Jesse 's message, "Friesian Buying- Support North American Breeders" on 01:22:04 04/05/08 Sat

Good post.

The same thing could be said about the breeders here, perhaps their hurting the importers - ("Importers are hurting the small breeders")
Could you possibly get me a Folkert353 baby that wasn't imported? Didn't think so.
And if you can't sell the offspring, don't have them. There's other jobs, like the one I have to go to every day. Wouldn't we all love to quit our jobs, live where ever we want in the middle of no where with 30+ acres, breed horses and make a million dollars!
Try loving your horses and foals for something other than the money they can make you by selling their innocent little babies. The people in Friesland have been breeding horses and farming for a long time. For some of them it's all they know.
While we're at it, we should close Wal mart, Stop and Shop, Home Depot, and the other big chain stores. They're hurting the small mom and pop stores. I'm SURE you don't shop at any of them or buy supplies at any of the big on-line horse supply stores..
I hope your cars are all American made too.
