Over the weekend, I discovered a fascinating interview that Gudrun Waiditschka had with Andreas Perner, who is head of the Research Institute for Organic Animal Breeding and Land Use, since 2018. The interview is titled, Are We Still Breeding or Are We Just Multiplying? The article appears within the online version of Arabische Pferde In-the-Focus magazine, published on Valentines Day (02/14/24). It's a deeply provocative article and while I try to stay away from anything which invites criticism of our horses, breed community and current practices (there are other places online where you can engage in these discussions) and yet, I feel compelled to encourage you to read the interview, which identifies problematic issues facing the cattle industry, which run parallel to challenges we face in the equine industry and specifically, with our beloved Arabian horses.
