Thanks for sharing Allie, I've...Love this post!<br />Thanks for sharing Allie, I've really enjoyed reading the comments too but sadly do not feel I can add to the debate as I am simply not educated enough in racing practices. I used to be more involved in breeding & sales side when I was in Ireland but nowdays I bear and see very little. Heck Cheltenham was on last week and like previous since I moved it here it Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122223715394678329.post-46021914419837043192014-03-21T13:11:14.614-04:002014-03-21T13:11:14.614-04:00I agree with you on that too.I agree with you on that too.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560432669562291616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122223715394678329.post-30718971138455350822014-03-21T12:13:36.443-04:002014-03-21T12:13:36.443-04:00Couldn't agree more.

Long gone are the days of people flocking to the track to see a certain horse run. Out current 'national body' only focuses on this. But it's a band-aid to the real deal. <br /><br />The general public only sees things like the PETA statements. I have coworkers that barely know racing exist Allison Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942809380963457857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122223715394678329.post-53949439061097841742014-03-21T12:08:11.380-04:002014-03-21T12:08:11.380-04:00I agree US TB racing is behind the times, and some...I agree US TB racing is behind the times, and some of the recent changes were done without enough time to consider the repercussions (track surface changes). I defend racing a lot to my sport friends because they only hear the bad things, horse racing is probably the most natural of all the horse sports, because in the wild horses run, they don't piaffe, jump big fences, or slide stop.

Steroid changes were made and a bad apple of the game is sort of gone since, but I don't feel that is enough. 5 years from now I'd love to believe that when PETA finds something to complain about in the industry we can have a long long list of things that have changed for the Allison Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942809380963457857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5122223715394678329.post-85316639937068441472014-03-21T11:57:51.251-04:002014-03-21T11:57:51.251-04:00I completely agree with everything you just said a...I completely agree with everything you just said and feel the same way. Thank you for writing this. I'm tired of PETA using the specific people and instances to condemn the entire industry. I'm also tired of the people that PETA uses as an example making all of us look like a bunch of butchers. I agree that there needs to be serious changes made.
