Saving Thoroughbreds from Horse Slaughter

[cowgirlrodeopauls]

Clearly all you people who are in support of 'no slaughter' aren't really horse people. What happened when they banned slaughter in the states? Oh yah.. horses started starving and facing worse fates then being put down. Learn to think outside the box

pleaze everybody write to congress and to the people in canada write to our great pm !! pleaze save these horses as they don't deserve this 1 bit and pleaze stop breeding !!!! lat them know and the more people that write the more maybe we can end this inhumane slaughtering to these beautiful horses so write !!!! pleaze save them for this sick inhumane death just for food ! there non livestock animals !!!

poor horses <3 they're so beautiful they should be running free, but they're just abused and slaughtered :(

and woww the horses in this video are all so amazingly good-looking, they're so beautiful !!

[mavriksfan11]

@WordsCanOnlyDoHarm Well, to be fair, some people love eating horse meat.

[AnywhereButHere09]

This could easily backfire though! Breeders would over bred, as is the case everywhere you turn, with a popular animal. Remember 101 Dalmations? Breeders bred like crazy, who wants lterally 101 dalmations when you only need one?

A possible approach is to BAN the breeding of surplus thorougbreds by their adopters. That would be like socialism I guess & would not work in a "free" society. Back to square one.......sigh......

Wonderful video...well thought out and to the point! I love throughbreds and proud to see that there are others who are as though concise as me in regards to such a wonderful breed. Thanks!

I have an OTTB :) I got her a year ago after being rescued and retrained by my instructor we have just started doing novice jumpers and wherever I go people always stop and look or have something to say about my horse (always good things)

I would like to learn more about teaching thoroughbreds....Do you know of any low cost training programs or trainers that can help teach my 3 year old sound 16.5 hh horse. I like the message in your clips..... We live is sylmar Ca

[kuniana]

@DaddyLJ1 FUCK YOU MAN. WOULD YOU SEND THEN THE POOR HORSE TO A SLAUTERHOUSE??? I WISH YOU A SLOW DEATH,JAJA

[Horselover3994]

Also another well known OTTB is Courageous Comet who came in second in the 2008 Rolex Three Day Eventing, my beautiful horse is an OTTB that I saved from slaughter..Hero <3

[BreyerJunki869]

this is actually one of the truest thoroughbred videos i have seen in a long long time!

[starbabe58]

great video

[baitedbreath1]

A really good video. Wee need more people who cares.

[solomonjordan]

Great video and great ideas for saving thoroughbreds! My next horse will be a TB!

[ramieandme]

Let's save as many OTTB as possible! Thanks for your contribution.

[Horsesandwolves]

Great Video!

[disarray24]

great video!! Thank you for taking the time to highlight all of the great attributes of OTTBs!!!

[xxSweetSacrifice]

great video. i have a donation for Rerun from a small fund raiser i did. I may also be buying an OTTB soon.

[rhettfincher]

Very nice

[LuckyKMG]

Good ideas--are you watching TB breeders??

[doryble]

A lot of great win-win ideas!

I would add one caveat, though -- if you donate a horse to an academic institution, please research thoroughly what they will do with it when they are no longer using it. Don't take their nice, color brochure word for it -- dig. There are good ones and bad ones, and the bad ones only delay, not prevent, your horse's one-way trip out of the country on that truck of terror.

[cycleguyanon]

I had no idea and definitely learned something. Great clip! I only wish I had endless land to provide homes for these amazing animals! I would buy them all a nice pair of sunglasses so they could chill out!

[swedishkat]

OK, so it WAS my computer, which had soundproblems :) The sound IS there! I watched it now a few more times, and this is a really GOOD video!! :) Kat

[helpfoals]

Good ideas! I hope these are implimented everywhere!

Stop the slaughter of US horses for the dinner plates of Belgium, France, etc. They are not food animals.

[LindaVA3]

Nice job!  Great focus on OTTBs!!

[walstradvm]

Groovy! Love it! Good job..

[cmoinnj]

Yeah for OTTBs! Fantastic job, Kimberly!

[swedishkat]

GREAT OTTB promotional video - I agree with everything in it!!

However, the video was a little too "fast", it was hard to read the text AND look at the pictures at the same time... I guess I have to view it a few more times :)

I was missing music too...was that just my computer?? You can add music later too... :) Kat

Thoroughbreds rock!!
