Watching a horse break down in a race and be put down in person, right in front of you is a different level of horrific especially when you work with racehorses everyday...do I agree(*some*)racehorses LOVE what they do, of course.But man there is a very dark side to the industry

I feel like I have no hobbies outside of the horses (and eating out/drinking until 10 pm) so my default when I have free time is to just clean.....

I highly recommend connecting your draw reins, neck stretcher, etc. to your saddle billets rather than between their legs.....

This may be an unpopular opinion but it really bothers me seeing people flat in open front boots...

Colic is fucking awful. You always hear about it, check for it. But until you’ve experienced it you don’t understand. This was A hard and fast colic, who knows what caused it. But either way I am absolutely heart broken. I can’t help but feel like I could have done more.
I have a one day pass to watch old race videos so hit me up with your ottb race names and I’ll send you some videos :)

I’ma go out on a limb and say that a lot of these horses that “need” calming supplements actually need more horse-focused training that encourages confidence, impulse control, and self-regulation from a rider that recognizes their horse is actively saying, “This is scary to me.”
