who never seem to miss a chance to bash those of us who grew up with horses, understand their temperament and disguised fragility, yet love and appreciate the challenges of the sport. Many of the bashers have dogs, yet remain silent on
puppy mills because it's not high profile. Personally l usually ignore the self righteous inferences while enjoying the racetrack. Ask two gun cid.Good luck.t

I used to be on the fence about it. But now it is clear that horse racing should be outlawed, and the same with rodeo. Barbaric, in many ways it is the same mindset as when Christians were fed to the lions.
