Behind every great horse is a team,” says a dramatic Irish voiceover. “A team committed to going the extra mile not some of the time, but each and every time.”
He’s talking about racehorses, but the sentiment certainly rings true for all segments of the equine industry. After all, any great trail horse, therapy animal or show ring superstar requires someone to take on the role of caretaker, groom, trainer, farrier, vet, and so much more.

The history is great! But why do you have to race two year olds! That means they are started as long yearlings! I’m not a fan of racing by no means!
Nice to see you showing the entire works of what goes on to prep and train these young athletes! And yes, I too agree with the young lady below, spot on Alica, why do they have to race two year olds!
