    I love horses, they're my favorite animal. But they're forced to be pushed to the edge. They're given all of these chemicals, and really aren't given any love.
    These horses are put up to gates, where they are usually frantic. They often get injured and need to be put down. If they don't get injured, death will come soon anyways. they are auctioned off for 80-150 dollars, and are slaughtered.

    My mom and grandma used to take me to horse races when i was little, and I loved seeing all the horses. I thought they just loved to race. I might be for horse racing if there were no whips and the horses were treated humanely since ideally its a great game for horses and humans to play together. I've always loved the idea of humans and animals playing or working together.

    yeah, really, I don't mind the concept of horse racing. but if I were to do it, I'd bond with my horse more and always give it love, no matter if it will give me money or not.

    But I don't really see this happening to ex dressage or jumper horses. just racehorses

    In reality horses in the wild run at their own pace, They are never competing each other, and they are always following a leader,
    In horse racing, they are constantly forced to be the best. Every year horses die because of horse racing.
