The danger to humans comes when HyPP breeders fail to
disclose the HyPP status at the time of sale. Here are a couple
of good examples of HyPP breeders not disclosing the status of their
HyPP horses on their web sites.
Gene Parker is an AQHA National Director, an AQHA Judge, a
Professional Horseman, and a breeder/manager of several stallions.
Mr. Parker's horse Tecoolest which is advertised on his web site does
not mention tecoolest having the HyPP disease, when in fact
Tecoolest is HyPP positive. Stud fee: $2,250
Another example is Buddy Talbert a respected HyPP breeder. Mr.
Talbert has a lot to say on his web site about Wincredible but
nowhere on his site does Mr. Talbert mention Wincredible has HyPP
Of course Wincredible is HyPP positive. Stud fee: $2,500
So why not disclose HyPP on your web site if the horse
has HyPP and your charging thousands of dollars for a stud fee?
Consider this, about 50% of the horses bred to Wincredible and
Tecoolest, (Mr. Parker and Mr. Talbert’s studs) will get HyPP.
Wouldn't it be good customer service for Mr. Parker and Mr. Talbert
to provide information on how to care for an HyPP horse? The
proper diet, exercise program, and over all management plan can go
along way in preventing HyPP attacks. You can actually cause an
HyPP horse to have an attack by feeding it a diet fit for a normal
horse. HyPP is a disease and like all diseases require some special
care.
The problem is when people end up with an HyPP horse and
don’t know the horse has HyPP.
This happens all the time because as you can see some people don’t
disclose HyPP on their web site or at time of sale.
Say a father who has been horse shopping calls Mr. Talbert, or Mr.
Parker and is interested in breeding to one of their HyPP studs. This
guy is obliviously wealthy to be willing to pay $2,500 for a stud fee,
but he wants his daughter to have the best 4-H horse and money is
not a big concern. This is the kind of guy who will pay someone to
care for and train his daughters horse. All this dad sees is world
champion horses, of course since Mr. Parker and Mr. Talbert don’t
disclose their horses have HyPP online the dad is probably not going
to know to ask.
Do you really think if this father wants to breed to one of their studs
that Mr. Parker and Mr. Talbert are all of sudden going to take the
high road and tell this guy, oh yea there is a 50% chance the horse you
get will have HyPP? Now there should be a law that forces HyPP
breeders to disclose at time of sale if the horse has HyPP, but there is
not.
So it comes down to the moral issue.
My personal experience dealing with HyPP breeders is their morals
are different than normal people.
It just does not seem morally right to breed purposely for a disease
that can cause suffering and death. Besides the moral issue I would be
embarrassed if people knew I bred horses with HyPP just for money.
It really truly is all about the Benjamins and until the cash flow stops
the HyPP is going to continue to plague the horse industry.
A note about Gene Parker and Buddy Talbert. They represent just a
couple of many HyPP breeders who stand HyPP horses and don’t
disclose HyPP on their web sites. I picked them as examples because
they are well respected in the horse world. It is possible they might
disclose HyPP at time of sale, but it still raises questions about their
motives on not disclosing HyPP or helping educate the public on their
web sites.
