Horses until the close of the end of the Second World War had a rough time and if it weren’t for humans who rescued these ancient breeds, the breeding lines would have been lost forever. I contend that horses in the last seventy years have had to be rescued for the less obvious outcomes of war but rather the recent economic influences that have also had an insidious effect on horses and their owners. These happenings weren’t noticed or substantially reported because they didn’t occur with large groups and with any significant reporting; they ended in the demise of many wonderful horses and their breeding lines, which were the results.
This story is about all the wonderful horses and the people who love them…their stories should be told to redeem what has been forgotten.
