THESE ANIMALS ARE TOO LOVELY FOR SUCH AN EVIL SELFISH SPORT. THEY ARE FREE, GENTLE SPIRITS AND NATURALLY A FRIEND TO MAN. WHY TREAT THEM SO BADLY? I WOULD OWN A HORSE AND TRUST IT WITH MORE THAN MY DOG. I LOVE MY DOG, BUT SHE NIPS, CHEWS UP THINGS, GROWLS AT KIDS AND OTHER MISBEHAVIORS. AND WHEN A DOG HURTS ITS LEGS OR FEET, OWNERS WILL FIX THEM WHETHER OR NOT THE ANIMAL HAS MADE ANY MONEY. IN THESE RACE HORSES CASES, THEY JUST EUTHANISE AND GO ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION. HOW SICKENNING. I QUIT BUYING TOBY KEITH ALBUMS BECAUSE OF HE RACES HIS HORSES.
