Looks like she may have been a little sick. What a gallant effort

It is a great article. And Ellen Parker is a great pedigree expert. The article is spot on and we must continue to fight for what is right.

Commercial farms = factory farms

While she may be a great pedigree expert and very knowledgeable the article strikes me as a little self serving. I wonder how many horses carry the cross that so worried her are sound and haven't broken down.
