More reversion to mean: US horse market crashes! At least this will free up land to grow food... As Horses Multiply, Neglect Cases Rise Boomers Bought Them, But Can't Afford Upkeep; The Slaughterhouse Factor By PAULO PRADA January 7, 2008; Page A1 MICONAPY, Fla. -- The Arabian horses grazing outside Holly Perea's window were once worth tens of thousands of dollars.
