If there was a registration fee of say 500€ to produce a foal it would go some way to ending the overbreeding of horses and ponies, for which there simply isn't the market as riding/driving/working animals. How many times have you heard someone say " we bought a mare because when we have finished competing we can get a couple of foals out of it". Make it economically unviable and it will help to reduce the numbers bred to be sold for a tenner at the markets. Is the sale of pony sausages a way of bypassing the 'horsemeat scandal' sale of burgers? Who will they appeal to?
