Very good video! Make people think before they act and possibly ruin a ton of lives that they could be saving!
It is sad, especially since i visited a thoroughbred farm this year. really all they did was offer 11 stallions for breeding, and they said they got around 700 to 1100 mares each year! that's sad, most of those foals will probably make it to the track, but how many will be sea biscuit, man o' war, war admiral... and then the non champions will be upset, and the next years they'll try hard... and they'll have 20 horses and only 1 or 2 champions, if any.
Anyone who gets their mare pregnant is really just picking a poor horse, putting it out of the light, and telling it sorry charlie. now, is that what everyone wants?
Breeding should be left up to the big time breeders of the industry and back yard people need to think twice about it! Yes foals are cute, but they are a lot of work!
