Glad to hear they are doing the right thing by the animal....most would of run him anyways.
I can't get excited about Horse Racing (own them) because they run two year olds and destroy so many of them to get a 'winner'.
A horse isn't mature until 4 and their legs, joints etc have not fully developed yet.
The only reason they don't wait is money....the two years more of training and feed that it would cost.
I'll start working a 2 year old, round pen, start under saddle etc but won't work them hard.
Thousands of good young horses are ruined for life or destroyed trying to make a quick buck.
Do I sound like a PETA weenie lol.
