There's a lot of stuff out there at the moment about horse racing. I've seen posts on facebook, twitter, forums etc. Horses dying left, right and centre, with pics galore. I certainly don't go looking for it, it's just there and I can't avoid it.
I hate it!!!
There's nothing I can do about the plight of race horses, so I feel totally wretched. I'm sick of seeing the pics and I'm sick of reading all the gory details of how many horses died today!
Another two horses die in the Grand National.
About 40 horses died already in the UK this year, and god knows how many others have been pts due to injury, or shipped abroad for meat because they've not lived up to expectations or they've broken down. These poor horses discarded like yesterdays news!
In the racing industry, the horse is just a commodity, to be used and abused. It's all about the kudos, and it's all about the money.
It saddens me greatly.

Totally agree, Di. I have always found it hard to stomach but am saddened even more than usual this year.
Did you know that competition and training are some of the factors that can lead to horse ulcer development? Keep your horse ulcer-free with AbGard Stable Pack Omeprazole Paste. Omeprazole is the most effective equine ulcer treatment available today.
I understand your frustration and discomfort about the horse racing sport, but I have seen some horse racing games in which horses do not get hurt, they are taken care in a professional way because the riders and the people involved need the horses in good conditions, so I think that you just saw a part of this interesting sport in my opinion
When it comes to horse racing, Australia has more racecourses than any other country. It seems that horsemanship is one of their favorite leisure.
