Completely! Almost any good horse owner knows that horses aren't pets. They are more of companions and partners. See, a little while back my best friends horse died from a colic and since then she's been more depressed lately. That little pony was almost her life and she is so upseat.Grrr. But yeah, you do understand :)

actually in the u.s horses would start racing at age two after september first in australia we are not allowed to race horses b4 there 4 years or older if you want to enter your horse who is 2/3 you mst enter them in a race which has a distance of no more than 1000 and it must be turf with a light weight jockey

Horse racing is NOT cruel In the U.S about 500 horses die each year because of there UNSAFE tracks like this one,This track was not sutible for racing it was too muddy and slippery In australia 99.8% of our tracks are turf which is checked evrey race meeting to make sure it is safe for racing If a horse falls on turf they are less likly to get injured less than 7 horses die on turf tracks each year u.s racing is cruel australian racing is not!!

my thoroughbred is an ex-racehorse and i am thankful he was not killed or euthanized. for some reason i can think of a reason he stopped racing! haha its terrible in the racing business! thank god my baby isnt still racing!

Racing is pathetic. Two horses killed in one race alone?? According to the IDA, more than 800 horses die on US tracks per year and another 3,600 are retired/euthanized due to injuries. Horses are forced to begin racing at 1-2 years of age. Steroids, of course, are still being used on these animals - illegal or not.
