I honestly don't understand how people who love horses can like horse racing? Horse racing is such an awful sport, and I understand that a horse could be injured in other disciplines as well, but not as often as in horse racing. How is it fair for us to ask them to run their hearts out at two years old when they aren't even fully developed? When they should be frolicking in a green pasture until they are a little older? Its so sad to see such great horses die, or abused because they were losers
I just had chills! That is an amazing video! Well done!!! I seriously had to fight off tears when it talked about all those tragic, inspiring stories! You really get drawn into the message. Good job!
@LetsFlyOnceMore I know that, as I have read nearly every story about him. But, as we all know, he could have. I said all horses who put their lives on the line, which would include every racehorse in history, and many more.
This is all very true. I'm glad someone finally stopped judging everything on how they get injured, though that matters. What we should focus on is their spirits, the way they loved to run. RIP Eight Belles, Ruffian, Secretariat, and all of the horses who put their lives on the line for us.
This video is absolutely beautiful. Great job =D I was so sad when I read in the news paper Eight Belles had been put down after breaking her two front ankles. Gosh, poor horse, that must have been so painful... I was waiting for Big Brown to do the same thing in that last race T___T Glad he didn't...
I miss Barbaro to...
Could you tell me, what is that last music you used? that starts at 3:30?
Wow . How many more of these beautiful horses have to die before the madness stops? Horse racing is abuse! Not all, I mean, there are people to do care for there horses and don't start them until they are at least four and done developing. But most owners are just in it for the fame and money.
I think it's true that no one ever saw how cast ruffian could go. o.o But I'm sure she would have ran faster than the bones the earth gave her could hold. D:
The pictures of the dying horses were terrible....the horses that died were so young.. what kind of sport is this where horses of just three years die? Whereas other horses just begin their career as a riding-horse?
wen you get chance add another great to ur video..... to us brits, Red Rum was the greatest racer that ever lived, or at least he was to me :) goose bumps from this video, fantastic x
WOW, what an amazing video! You have so much talent to put something like this together...the words, the songs, the pictures/clips - they go to together perfectly! It has special meaning to me, because I'm following my heart and am pursuing a career as a professional jockey. A tribute like this was much needed for all the fallen athletes out there - both jockeys and race horses.
So once again, thanks for a truly inspiring video!
He smashed his muzzle and front legs, tore open his chest, and snapped a hind leg in two. I'd never witnessed anything like that, and I was only 30 yards away... I'd never seen a horse bleed like that. If he wouldn't have been put down, he would've bled to death in minutes.
So many great champions have perished in terrible accidents... I was at Presque Isle Downs yesterday, and a horse named of Fightinthecat bucked his rider before he could be loaded into the gate spooked. He tried to jump the rail, but missed, and crashed head on...
ok i agree 100 percent with ur vid but i think if we monitored the horse racing industry more alot of problems would come to an end like:
over breeding (alot of the horses are breed and are not "fit" to race and become unwanted by many that leds me to my second point)
slaghter (all these unwanted horses go from the stable to the table. if the breed would decreese there would be less need for the horse slaghter industry)
abuse and druged horses (what is the whole point of the horse racing cont
the whole point is to win!!! if u buy a horse ready to race and something happens to it what do most race owners do???? drug them. the unwanted horses that dont go to slaughter mostly end up in abusive situtations {not saying all do because there are many horses at my barn off the track that a treat amazingly}
inbreeding (so many of the horse that are breed get rebreed to a relitive causing problems to the foal which is y race horses legs have become so thin and fragile)
Thoroughbreds legs are so thin because they want the horses as agile as possible, so they bred them(Not INbred) and made the horses much lighter and more fragile. I wish they would go back to the original Tb. But I own a thoroughbred myself and she has very thin legs and has never been inbred. She has been LINE bred...which is what almost every breed does. But they do it very carefully and that is NOT the reason they have thin legs
Did you know that they actually do a practice called "pinfiring" to streghtin thier legs. It causes calcium deposits to build up in thier legs just like when we break our arm or leg. My O.T.B. has the marks from pinfiring, So I guess they make up for the thin legs on some of them. Proud owner of Miss Country Pine Breeders cup contender.
i do feel beyond sad for those great hearts who have gone down on the track but i also feel heart broken for those whole lost their lives in a different race after the winners circle clears(there are good race horse owners and to u this is not directed to u just to the unloving race owners that dont love the horse except when it wins money)
Great Video!! Thoroughbreds are truly amazing. I use to live in Lex. Kentucky (the horse capitol of the world) and I use to go to the Training center to pick up hay for my horse and wow... to see them in action. I was going 25 near the racetrack and the horse was going faster then me! One of the most amazing breeds I've seen. God I wish I could stay in Lex. But oh well... Amazing video!!
This is great! this shows the good side of racing! no matter what happens we try to get our horses back to full health because we love them dearly :D 5 stars, added to faves and subscribed! :)
What's the music on the second half? I think it would go great with my horse and our 3rd level freestyle dressage.
-----
Great Video! Though I do think the horses fall because they race to young. It doesn't matter if they mature quickly. No baby should be asked to run 2 miles and 48 mph. Wait until they are more mature, say 5 or 6.
Just my opinion, please don't shoot fire back at me people. ;)
The very last one is called "Warriors" by the Lord Of The Dance Soundtrack. If you're asking the one before that, it's called "Restless" by Within Temptation & Evanescence. :-)
yes i agree. there still colts and fillies untill up to 4. and their mussels and bones are growning at that age. its so hard on them. poor things. im not saying they are abused. just wait a few years and id bet the owners would get better results and in the end a living horse and a larger purse. =)
I love the parts about Ruffian. She is my all time favorite racehorse and no doubt has the most heart than ANY racehorse to ever set foot on a track. She is my inspiration everyday and is what drive me.
Wow this video was amazing, i loved the music and the effects. Where's the music from? I agree the racehorses have been engineered to run faster and to run earlier but have shorter race careers as most of them have.
Although some things in racing need to be drastically changed, like anabolic steroids being legal and racing them at three... THAT I really don't agree with. That being said, the vid was great otherwise. *favs* ;D
Hmm to the contrary I do believe there are four anabolic steroids that are legal in some states as long as they are administered 30 days outside of a race. and thoroughbreds these days have been, you could say, "genetically engineered" over the years and grow at a much faster rate than the other breeds like the heavier drafts and such.
That's just it. Humans are playing God and engineering these horses to run faster. Their muscles are stronger than ever, but their skeletons are getting smaller and frailer, disproportionate to their mass. Growing faster doesn't make them internally mature just because they're bigger. I have a TB and I know these things. He was bred for soundness, and you can see the physical differences. Racing TB's are poorly bred and worked too young and that's why they break down.
yes, but it really depends.I've seen some of the world's best racehorses on my visit to Kentucky for nationals, and they are not at all what non racetrack people think. Obviously they are going to be well built because who really wants to have 25 million dollars break down? Honestly. I saw Cigar, Giacamo, John Henry (Rest in peace) and many other phenomenal horses and they are treated better than most people. SO it kills me when people talk trash about racing and it's unethical treatment & such
The opening song is from an Album called: 3:14 To Yuma Soundtrack. Title of the music is "Bible Study". If you are reffering to another song then please tell me. :)
Aww =[ Very touching video... Mistake at the start "her both front ankles" should be "both her front ankles" other than that, amazing! OMG whyyyyyy havnt you been on m.S/n?!
