OK so.....WTF is up with AQHA and the halter horses? I mean seriously if these animals are showing the best traits of the breed then I think AQHA is screwed. Quarter horses are generally known for their good work ethic and ability to get the job done, but if we can't even ride the best looking horses of our breed because we fear that they will possibly hurt themselves because of their massive size, then what good are they? I mean if they are unrideable what's their purpose? Looking pretty just doesn't cut it, I personally want a pretty and functional horse but if I had to pick between pretty or functional, your damn right if you think I'd pick the functional one. Seriously what are people thinking when they breed for these kinds of animals? Grossly over muscled, their legs look like they could snap like a twig, and they look like you need to use one whole trailer to get them anywhere cause of their width and weight. Seriously people, seriously! These horses don't look pretty, they look disgusting. They can't even move right because of all of their excess muscling.
