Is The Sky Falling... Or is it Just the Economy ?

The previous post was a bit like the Chicken Little story (THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!) about riding horses in the future.
Extreme, yes. Dramatic, yes. Totally impossible, no.

So it's time to ask you horsepeople an important question...

Is the horse industry in decline, or is it doing fine and just experiencing a temporary blip due to the current recession??

Will horse prices rise when the unemployment drops??

Will the number of people wanting to ride increase as salaries begin to rise again??

Will Kentucky legislators again appreciate the economic impact we all bring to the state - when they stop worrying about the budget??
