  • Thoroughbreds are born to race. It is only due to the National's huge media coverage that animal activists try to use the spectacle to their advantage. Yes it is tragic that two horses perished but the race is not immoral or too challenging. Lets face if we lived in many parts of Europe we would be eating these beautiful creatures with ham and mango chutney. When the National is run on good ground and in summer like temperatures things are bound to happen.

  • I don think its fair to ban the grand-national. Yes it is dangerous, and the jockies go into it knowing that they could come out of it with a broken arm or leg. But for people to say that its animal cruelty isnt right in my opinion, the horses are looked after very well. On saturday's grand national, after the race had finished they got the jockies straight off the horses and covered the horses in water because they were hot. They care so much for the horses, and i dont think it should be band x

see all

  • @kingdra11 ?

  • @Alice6614 If you actually think about the things, you would actually know that they don't enjoy it. What if YOU were forced to run at top speed, would you enjoy it? Horses do anything to please humans- they are mans best friend!!

  • @Horsemadsaddleclub how do you know they don't enjoy it? if they didn't enjoy it they wouldn't race.. simple. every horse loves to have a gallop. and i wouldn't argue my aunty used to work with race horses and she knows alot about them, and so do i.

  • @kingdra11 It

  • @all4pharlap Sry i accidently Hit the Post Button. What i ment was i dont like to who ur saying

  • @kingdra11 You enjoy how i talk but you dont like to who you are saying? could you please rephase that i don't quite get it lol

  • @Horsemadsaddleclub Because that comment proved you are mature. um no.

    I have been working with horses for my life... my family have racehorses and we also educate horses and break them to saddle and are very actitive around the eqestrian world so i do think i know a little(lot) more about horseracing and horses in general....

  • @Horsemadsaddleclub but its also fairly uncommon for a racehorse to actually fall i went to a race meeting only a week ago it had 10 races(i think) and not one of those horses were injured in any way!.

    Racehorses are ATHLETES! they are specially trained to RUN! Do you know how much a horse weights? yes over 500kg do you know how much a jockey weights? no more than 50kg do you think the jockey could control the horse if it didnt want to run! or wanted to go elsewhere..no

  • @all4pharlap i enjoy HOW u Talk but i dont like To WHO Ur saying
