surely there are enough foals!

Just had this pop up on my news feed on fb http://fbui.publishtofanpage.com/gsdnd/?m=99467 am I misunderstanding this or is it 2 people win frozen semen for their mare to put it in foal? Nothing for the mare to be of a certain quality or anything, just another foal. Surely this can't be allowed!?

It's madness. I have had a rising 3yo gelding for sale for about a month now. Well handled, loads, great with farrier, registered with his breed society with some impressive bloodlines as far as bloodlines for the breed go etc. his asking price. £280. No interest at all.

We don't need anymore foals.

I can't click on the link, but read on a forum last night a 'raffle' including a free covering of a stallion. I automatically thought the same exact thing..... :O

I can't see the page, but don't you know that foals are reeeeeeally cute, so everyone who can breed from their horses should because foals really are reeeeeeally cute.

If someone is thinking of putting their mare in foal, they'll do it anyway- regardless of whether they win the semen in a raffle of not! The trouble with finding quality proven competition mares is by the time they have 'proven' themselves- dressage, jumping whatever.... they are almost too old to have a first foal, and if that foal turns out to be a brilliant 6yr old they are definitely too old to have any more.
I certainly don't believe in random breeding of herds of probably inbred horses all living together. Maybe mandatory castration of all substandard colts would be a better way to go?
