Wow, thanks for all the information on horse racing. I knew you had horses and liked riding, but didn't know the extent of your involvement...I learned a lot. I don't think I like it because of the abuse whenever money is involved for the owners. .....e.g., pumping up horses with drugs. We know that has been an age old problem. Do you think the horse who had heart attack was a result of overdose or is it too early to speculate? At any rate, it is so sad....
My gdaughter was a horse lover; she rode and was trained at a horse ranch in Kansas. The owner selected her to join a group who would travel and compete....We all thought this was an honor and that she would love it, but over a year ago (before she turned 15), she completely lost interest and refused to go back to her training classes...Her fellow riders tried to talk her into continuing but it was like she couldn't deal with any type of criticism from her instructors...I was truly sad when she stopped her riding/training classes.....
Thanks again for the education.
