    Re: “Unhealthy Horses
    I think all you negative commenters out there are missing the point of the article. The point is - the Equine Center at the U of A is seriously underfunded, and does not get money from the state. Obviously, corners have to be cut, including the horses being seen by a qualified doctor of equine veterinary medicine. How can they possibly operate a 'top notch' university facility such as that on $53,665? (which was their budget last year) Why is it that this Center, which is self funded, relies only on monies from auction sales, breeding and boarding when Sean Miller, the head basketball coach is paid $2 million per year? It's all about priorities . . . I bet the basketball coaches' clothing allowance for designer suits cost a lot more than the Equine Center's entire yearly budget . . .
