Race Horses are not neglected and their looking after is second to none once a potential winner or could be has been bred ,but its what happens to it once its on the course,,

,,,,,,,,,whipped and dug till it goes that extra step, to fill someone pockets .............,made to jump which can endanger its life and so very often does needlesley....that is the crultey of it,,,,,

3 horses in one grandnational had to be shot because they were put into a situation they couldnt achive..........,,,,for what,??---Money,,,,sorry but I value an animals life far more than making people rich,,,,,,,,,,

roxanne are you into animal rights then???,
i did read that the fences/hedges have been lowered and are more densly packed, is this not true then.....
my friend bought an ex race horse 20 years old he was, wasnt in any neglect but i suppose it does go on...... arn't they regulated now....as i am believed to be informed or is that not true either
you seem well up on facts, ...
i dont bet, coz no money....lol

Who in gods name allows child abuse,,,,,,a subject so very close to my heart, and is stepping into dangerous terrority..............,,,,,,and how someone can say we or I purposley allow it it is beyond all mentalilty,,

,,,,,,,I do NOT nor would not allow the abuse of a child .minor or otherwise, so am not in the sick class of those that do...........,neither would I contribute to someone elses greed at the expense of an animal..for *fun*

Sorry Roxanne,,

I agree with you,red Squirrel.

Kemp,So you do agree that Race horses are treated badly?

I have no strong feelings either way...............so would be interested to read others thoughts on race horses

Child abuse is not the subject!*rolls eyes*!

Kemp :-) - I think more should be done to stop abuse of all kinds whether it be children, animals, women, men,

However, I would hope that we would tackle all abuse concurrently and that we don't allow abuse of animals just because we're tackling another kind of abuse.

If this is a debate thread.................surely we have to hear both sides?

Oh................and stick to racing as the subject.

hubbys got a job ...end of .......

we got the horse so we could be involved in the PROPER care of a race hors coz we all think its so bad the way they are treated .........


but at the same time we must get this into the proper box ...........we allow the abuse of children ...no problems
BUT who will stop the animals being abuse if we allow kids to be killed at the hands of their parents ....cant foster ...we have 4 of our own ...thats kids

Miss CTP in SS.....ten bob.......is that some historical currency? lol

You do what you like with your money! but as long as you know at what cost.

but your 10 bob or whatever you bet is helping this Vile Industry!

Roxanne I am paying memeber and can post where I like and will do..

Its a billion pound industry and this thread or the fact I have 10 bob on the grand national or when I go to Haydock is not going to make much differance weather I place the bet or not...as for Kemp giving the game away..FGS its a legitimate income he pays his taxes....its not like he peddling drugs or something...

Hi Roxanne :-)

I think Kemp has been honest :-) which I applaud so we all know that she has an interest in horseracing now.

With this in mind, I think she has every right continue posting although I would hope that we could all keep on to the subject in question :-)

(No offence meant to either side)

hahahahahaha

sorry didnt know we where playing games...........

Roxanne, I'm not disagreeing with you :)

Oh Kemp!lol
you have just given your game away!

I think you should just leave this thread for those who are not "financially reliant" on the death of horses!

But it does seem odd to me that we as a nation allow any kind of abuse of anything ........but then when these things come to light we allow it to happen ................

what about teh people who think this is ok and then create even more mess by betting on the animals .....so whos going to get the ballance of abuse of any sort right ...........


oh by the way we have half a race horse and hubby works for biggest betting company in the country !

Very true Colin :-)

Roxanne thank you for being so polite....yes I will ..

Ladies that is why I have never and will never ever place a bet or attend a race
