We(my family since the 60's) used to catch and run lots as pack and saddle horses and even some in the trail riding strings when I guided trail rides. You will never find a better mountain horse once broke.
High percentages are slaughtered as a form to make money at it. What I asked was how many "need" to go to slaughter? And how many need to be removed in the first place.
Of coarse some will be for slaughter but no one here can say just how many!
All we would need is one bad bit of publicity like Austraila had about shooting horses and the horses would be protected as here they are very much a warm and fuzzy creature to most.
