All4ph do u eat meet I presume u do .do u not call it cruel to kill cows to feed ur habit. And cruel to put so much pressure on soccer players and f1 so the best thing it to sit on our holes watching tele. O wait most show have a sport on a lot of days so people stay inside and get fat. Horses are treated like kings. Brushed cleaned jogged fed and petted daly. At most they are raced 1-2 times a week but get fresh water after and a free day to run in the paddocks. What happens if racing is shut

@bahaamh Its illegial to sent your horse to slaughter now and if trainers/owners of racehorses are heard thinking about it, they are fined and banned from racing.

whats the difference between this and any other horse sport

equal risk equal cruety do you ride? then your being cruel

The sbred horse has three strides. The hobbles actually help the horse stay straight and not hit themselves and get hurt. Trotters and pacers are different we had a half trotter/half pacer and she could do both easily most horses trot when jogging then pace at speed they do gallop. It is different breeding for a trotter and a pacer.

@MrBabyBearxxx Doesn't "need" it is one thing! I own a STB myself and he only paces if his brain "glitches" when we're out and about and gets stressed. Most races he's been in he'll be trotting. It's interesting stuff that! Pacers are quite rare over here, 99% of all STBs are trotters. So you're saying that they race faster at a pace? My baby does have American ancestry (his dad was Express Ride) and he racks as well, which is probably why he's got a bit of a pace sometimes.

@Nizingur my stb is a free legged pacer and doesnt need "hopples"...People forget they are bred for this exact reason and most like mine loves to race!



[Nizingur]

Very painful to watch. But I like that they had horsemen out there to catch the runaway horses! Seems a lot more effective than the bumbling about I experienced a few years back with a panicking STB. That said - WTF, they FORCE the horses to pace by binding their legs together?! Where the heck is the profit in that?

@rempo62 Oon eri mieltä, ravi ei ole hevosten rääkkäystä. Toki raviradoillakin liikkuu aina vaarallisia, sairaita, vedonlyöjijä, enkä puolusta todellakaan heitä, mutta jotkin elävät ravureiden avulla. Ravureita kuuluu kunnioitta, minun mielestäni. ;D

[rempo62]

ravit on laillistettua  eläinrääkkäystä !
