Vets warn that ‘extreme breeding’ could harm horses

The El Rey Magnum is close to perfection, according to its breeders in Washington state

Vets are warns that the” extreme spawning” of mares could harm their health and welfare after pictures surfaced of a young Arabian horse with a drastically concave profile. Claimed to be already worth “several million dollars”, El Rey Magnum is said to be ” close to perfection” by its breeders at Orrion Farms, an Arabian horse professional in Ellensburg, Washington state.

But British veterinarians and equine professionals have told the Veterinary Record the nine-month-old colt represents” a matter of great concern ,” as its deformed skull to have been able to make existing hurdles. The Guardian has been refused permission to publish photographs of the mare, but the mortal can be viewed here.

Tim Greet, an equine professional, told the Veterinary Record:” I find the whole occasion stupendous. Arabians have always had a very’ dished ‘, look but this makes things to a nonsensical grade .”

According to Greet, such “deformity” is more significant for a Pony than for pedigree bird-dogs such as pugs, which can suffer breathing difficulties. Puppies can breathe through their openings, but horses can only inhaled through their noses.” I believe exert are certainly be limited for the purposes of our colt ,” said Greet.

Adele Waters, the writer of Veterinary Record, “re just saying that” every professional veterinary she had shown the images to had known them shocking.

She said:” My first dreams were,’ Is this the work of CGI trickery ?’ Many specialist pony vets have had a same action. But the truth is this is a real mare and it has been spawned to meet the demands of a particular marketplace that likes a particular impression. Where will it objective? Is it actually so bad for a mare to look like a mare and not a parody reputation ?”

Waters interrogated the honour of such fashion-led rearing, in the wake of similar dreads over the health and welfare of flat-nosed dog spawns such as bulldogs, French bulldogs and pugs.

” The real original Arabian horse’s head was very beautiful but they are now being multiplied purely for that[ concave] gape. There is no functional cost in a pony having a appearance like that. Veterinarians is argued that if you distort the skull like that there’s a risk you change the airways and the breathing capability of the pony .”

Dr Madeleine Campbell, an equine replication consultant, expert in animal welfare and ethics and administrator of the Equine Ethics Consultancy, told the Veterinary Record:” Whilst it is obviously inconceivable to comment on an individual animal based only on photographic manifestation, as a guiding principles, any tendency towards multiplying for extremes of sort which is able to adversely affect normal office must be condemned, on welfare soils .”

Doug Leadley, a farm overseer and primary raise adviser for Orrion, was of the view that” this mare is a stepping stone to getting close to perfection “. He dismissed reviews of the horse:” I think most of those people don’t spawn mares, or be demonstrating or aren’t very involved- this really is people who don’t understand .”

American veterinaries have recognised El Rey Magnum as an example of an extreme spawn, and one veterinary has said that the pony had not yet been medical or respiratory issues.

Since launching a promotional video earlier this month, the farm has received interest from all over the world, including the UK. Harmonizing to Leadley, the young pony is already worth several million dollars.
