The rearing horse was Point Given. He was a habitual rearer, which is a dangerous habit for both horse and rider. He was retired to Three Chimney's Farm where stallions are routinely worked under saddle, but he was deemed too dangerous to ride.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

@@Calebjones007 He's 25 years old now. He was a flop as a sire so I'm glad Calumet had the decency to retire him from stud duty and place him at the Horse Park. Some farms would have sold him off to a country where Uncle Ralph lost his shoes. He'll live out his days in honor at the Park.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

@@noelharris1177 I never heard that but it would be very unusual for a horse of her size and way of going to not be shod between races as it would be hard on her hooves to take that sort of pounding and stay sound. Especially as her races were mostly 10 days/2 or 3 weeks apart, unlike schedules these days. That would be a lot of yanking off and nailing on of shoes that would be destructive of the hoof wall. I know of some young horses in training, but before racing, that are shod with glue-on shoes rather than traditional racing plates, but are shod with plates before they are raced. So if Ruffian trained barefoot it would be a unique situation.

I understand your concerns using a whip never sounds great but in the last decade tons of rules have been put in place limiting the number strikes a rider can use and also the crops length and physical make up is softer. Like I can whack myself with one and it doesn’t hurt. To my knowledge injuries caused by whips are one of the last things the racing industry has to worry about right now.

@@SketchyTheHorseGuy About you being able to whack yourself and it not hurting. According to studies, horse skin is way thinner than humans, which makes them feel more pain than humans. Even if the whips are soft, they may still be able to feel the pain from being whipped. !! *MY OPINON* !!

[@Horseracingedits_3]

The whips are foam 🗿

[@DoubleDogDare54]

@@Levi_Yourproblemisme Yeah, well your opinion is wrong. The ends of the "whips" are encased in foam rubber - like what you find on a pool noodle. And, yes, you can whack yourself with those 360 crops and it bounces right off, no pain. Buy one yourself and try it.
You can damn well bet horses biting each other in a tiff out in the pasture feel a lot more pain than from these pool noodle crops and the horses have no problem with biting each other to show dominance.
And if a horse's hide was as thin as you think it is, how is it they can pull the hide off the same way as is done with cattle? There is reason why it is called "horsehide", not "horse skin".

I'm not denying that there's no horse abuse in the racing world or just the equine world in general. But I don't really like how people judge every little thing. People take one look at something and declare it wrong or abusive.

[@HORSE9951]

Professional horse racing has faced criticism for its inherent risks and potential for abuse towards the animals involved. One of the main concerns is the physical toll it takes on the horses. These animals are often pushed to their limits, running at high speeds on hard surfaces, which can lead to various injuries such as fractures, muscle strains, and tendon damage. The pressure to win races can sometimes result in horses being raced before they are fully mature or recovered from previous injuries, exacerbating their vulnerability to harm.
Another aspect of abuse in professional horse racing is the use of performance-enhancing drugs and other medications. While regulations exist to prevent doping, instances of illegal substances being administered to horses have been documented. These substances can mask injuries, artificially enhance performance, or even endanger the health of the horse. Furthermore, the practice of using whipping or other forms of physical punishment to urge horses to run faster has drawn criticism for its potential to cause pain and distress to the animals.
Moreover, the fate of horses after their racing careers is a significant concern. Many retired racehorses face uncertain futures, with some ending up in slaughterhouses or neglectful situations. The pressure to maximize profits often means that the welfare of these animals is neglected once they are no longer profitable on the track. While efforts have been made to improve post-career options for retired racehorses through rescue organizations and adoption programs, the sheer number of horses retiring from the industry poses ongoing challenges in ensuring their well-being. Overall, these factors contribute to the growing awareness of the abusive aspects within the professional horse racing industry and the need for greater regulation and oversight to protect the welfare of the animals involved.

Horse abuse🚨

[@SLWesternRider]

Most horses actually enjoy racing. When they don't, that's when it becomes abuse. The whips they use are just foam crops, and the horses are bred to run, just run.

[@sophiegarlington]

GET THIS IN YOUR HEAD: This is not dam abuse, the horses and just being horses, the jockeys are not hurting them, the whips are just used for sound, horses only race about once every 2-3 months. After a race they get 2-3 weeks off for their legs to rest, once they are back training, they will start out with trotting and they will not do a full gallop for about 2 weeks. All of the horses get fans in there stalls for when it’s hot, blankets for when it’s cold, they get fresh water, 2-3 meals a day, and they get walked around the barn. They get often vet and farrier visits and they enjoy their job!!

I get you guys r trying to defend horse racing but this is my opinion,
Horse racing can be abusive and it manly is because they may treat there horses well and all but if a horse trips or collided with another horse that could cause injuries and why would you put a young horses life at stake for money? And it has been proven that race horses die younger than normal horse or develop joint problems when they are older.Many horses enjoy racing but in this kind of racing it’s not that fun.And if a horse stopped winning and kept failing some people would just throw them away.I’m not going to go into anymore details because There is so much wrong with this sport but all disciplines can be abusive but this in my view just is.I respect your opinion but I stand by mine.
And also steeplechase is just abuse I’m not going to say anything else about it but it just is

Horse racing is abuse!!! over 600 horse die form horse racing a year and do you hear any other horse sport having that many horse die in a year. And horses from the age of 2-4 year old is when there bodies and drain are being developed the most and putting that much pressure on them killed there bodies. As well ad the people in the racing industry will use the horse till it can’t run anymore or is to old and will ether give it away, slaughter houses, and some people even euthanizes them. And if you don’t think that is abuse then fact check your self.
