It’s about time this scandalous industry were looked into! While there’s no doubt in my mind that there are many breeders, trainers, and jockeys who treat their horses well, these are always put at a disadvantage by those who don’t. Penalties were WAY too lax, just as in any other “professional” sport in this country. Perhaps a sea-change is finalyy under way!

I knew it was but I had no idea how bad. I’m glad they’re finally going to have a governing committee and I hope it doesn’t also get corrupted by greed.

All I can say is that it is way passed time for someone to step in and do something. Consideration for the horse and the breed has to come first. The absurd greed at the expense of these magnificent creatures is unacceptable under any circumstances. Those who practice it should have to suffer the same as their animals.
