Same for the halter stock horses, such terrible breeding practices, they break down if ridden at any age, and never even see a pasture if showingÂ…. Again, all sports have extremes that should be moderated in my opinion
I mean helol the barn I ride at, when they retire show horses they find pleasure homes for them. Sometimes at the barn with someone who wants a pleasure horse or sometimes at retirement places for horses. You cannot always afford to keep them all- a business is a business. Most of the racehorse people I know even keep tabs on the horses they retire/sell.
And 2 yr olds get a used by backyard owners trail riding them all weekend when they are not strong and fit enough. There are good and bad in every discipline. But to diss an entire sport is like saying all of *x* type of people are bad
I'd have less issue with racing if they waited till the horses were older. I'm not a fan at how the horses are practically used and spat out by the time they're 5 or 6. Most times with soundness issues.
Hell I have seen some horses get injured in dressage. They are seriously injury prone. I saw a Saddleseat horse have a heart attack and collapse onto the rider- at a walk.
I enjoy watching it but I have mixed emotions about the actual thing. A lot of those horses actually really love racing and it's really obvious in the way they carry themselves and run. Injuries are horrific but those same injuries easily happen in the pasture too.
There is abuse in any sport that includes money, which is all of them. I have seen it in rodeo, I have seen it in English sports. Quarter Horses, Arabians, Paints, no one is immune to it. What counts is speaking up and out about it.
