@liekiepiekie11 Why not

[all4pharlap]

@barboro1 because maybe they are injured themselves.... If they have a fall it is a rule than the jockey must straight away go to the first aid room

@comeonshaymen Read my comments correctly please. I didn't say that all horses hate racing.

Yes, there are some that like it. But the sad rest is being forced to it by rider 'n whip.

And I'm also no AnimalAid-PETA-Vegan guy, but as usual it's easier for people to live with prejudices than facts. Most people are simply to stubborn to do so as well.

However, since I don't wish to spam this video (lol?), this'll be my last message in this (more or less) pointless discussion.

@Rimfaxe96 No,thats the truth.

Look at Dessie, for an instance. Watch any of his races, and than tell me horses dont love to race.

I know you Animal Aid vegan types dont like being wrong, but in this instance, you are

Anyway, why focus on the bad parts of the sport, lets focus on the many great aspects of NH racing

@comeonshaymen Yes, that's what the owners and article-writers tell the people.

@Rimfaxe96 No, most horses prefer racing

Quite recently a horse called Winker Watson came back from a 2 year retirement because he hated not being able to race.

Last week, a 14-YEAR-OLD horse called The Tatling won a race. He shouldve been retired sges ago, but he loves racing so much that the owners wanted him happy

@comeonshaymen You must set a line between the horses which actually love to race, and those which don't.

There is no horse on the earth that would prefer racing or being ridden at all if it could chose between riding and staying on a field with its stable mates. Yet, if horses weren't rideable, they probably wouldn't exist anymore, and there are still horses which like to work with humans.

If the owners just would treat the horses correctly instead of sending them on the track with 2 years etc.

@Rimfaxe96 Yes i do know about slaughter if thats what you meant. Nothing is whiter than white, but even the claimers and point-to-pointers are treated like royalty. It is the best sport in the world. And yes, sadly some horses suffer fatal falls, and everybody connected with the sport is distrught that a beautiful creature has lost its life doing what it loves.

[Rimfaxe96]

@comeonshaymen Yes I do. Do you know something about horse raceing behind the facade of jockeys stroking their horses and horse owners being proud of their horses if they won something? =)
