Too many horses are bred each year.  Over 50,000 thoroughbreds are bred each year and probably just as many quarter horses and then add in all the other breeds.  Breeders should be required to pay a small fee ($300.00 or so) which would go to a state administred fund.  When a horse is no longer wanted the current owner could have a vet out to humanely put down the horse and the state fund could reimburse the vet and pay for disposal.
