Just wanted to say it would be great if no race horse was raced before 3 yrs old or at least limit their race's at 2 so these horses aren't raced out at 4 sorry just saying
Even responsible owners and trainers are a part of the problem. The Thoroughbred industry regularly cranks out literally tens of thousands of new foals each year, only a tiny percentage of which go on to earn their keep, and there are no guarantees even for those who do. (Google "Ferdinand"--a Kentucky Derby winner) Guess what happens to the rest? It's too awful to say, but involves a cattle truck and a trip to Canada or Mexico. The only ethical answer is to stop breeding so many animals and spend more resources finding good homes for the ones that already exist. What can you do? Adopt if you're qualified. Donate to rescue organizations if you can. Otherwise refuse to participate as a spectator in this ingratiating, abusive 'sport' whose time has past
Very nice video!

It's not just Stallions that can bite, any horse can bite. Just had to say that. 🐴

Have you worked with breeding stallions?

Then reach out to the jockey club and do something about it. Otherwise being a bystander makes you just as guilty
