El Rey Magnum, the cartoon horse

Vets said "stop with extreme breeding".

El Rey Magnum was announced as being "the horse that the world was waiting for". This arabian foal has got an anatomical structure that has been defined by his breeders s being nearly perfect. He has the typical arabian head structure, but the bending of the bone is actually excessive. That's exactly what worried and moved the Veterinary Record, the British Veterinary Association, who argued that El Rey's skull shape is alarming and may cause him breathing deceases. Breeders obviously reply was that his skull shape is totally normal to arabian horses and also that this foal has already got a value of million dollars and lots of requests. We're clearly facing a case of extreme breeding, actually sadly popular in the Equestrian World, since we all know the costs of a foal of these genealogies and anatomic characteristics. The problem is that actually starting from this super-valued horse, lots of others will be breeder with his own characteristics, or even more excessive others; also presenting the high risk that these will be even more delicate and with a tendency to health -especially breathing- deceases. Comment with your own thoughts!
