Where is the master plan?12:30 PM
Horse breeds are dynamic and changes over time. The breeds that do not
change to meet the need of the users/market will disappear. An example
of breeds that are quickly disappearing is the various cold blood breeds.
The cold bloods are replaced with machines and have not been able to find
a new niche in the market and are therefore more or less kept alive by
a few enthusiasts.
