This is relevant particularly going into foaling and breeding season

Dear Small Breeder...I see you!
I see you, pouring your heart and soul into those mares praying for a good heartbeat check.
I see you, missing family gatherings because a mare needs to be bred. Or one is about to foal.
I see you, sleepless nights hoping nothing goes wrong at foaling time.
I see you, crying because you lost a foal, mare or both.
I see you, standing over that prize yearling that just broke its leg.
I see you, struggling wondering which incentives to pay into. Because everyone wants them all paid into every incentive possible.
I see you, as you are saying goodbye to the old mare that started it all... wondering if you should keep going.
I see you, struggling on which mare to breed to which stallion to hopefully make someone's next superstar.
I see you, smiling because it all went right this time!
I see you, smiling because someone called to tell you how much they love that foal you raised. And it is their heart horse!
Keep going small breeder! Because without you, there are a lot of people missing out on that once in a lifetime horse. 🐎
