Many horse breeders will say that the dam stamps the stock equally or sometimes more than the stallion and a good brood mare is just as vaulable as the sire.
If you have herds of horses, the natural selection will get rid of the larger defects, and yes, practicalities would say that a mare with unwanted characteristics would enter the food chain; probably mares past breeding or known to be barrren too.
Likewise stallions known to throw a bad foal would not be tolerated either.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
