musicfeeds. your an idiot. just look at my horse, every time i get on her back, she works to make me happy. weve jumped 3ft 6inches in a halter and lead rope. she nickers every time i come into the barn. VERY FEW of racing horses are put on drugs, and really it only seems like alot b/c we only hear about the ones who do. P.S. rameshkukathas, theres no way in hell that the horse at 1:49 is an ex-racer. its part draft for sure. good job there...

OMFG- horse racing is great- the sport is not about murdering poor little horses you know. KEEP RACING!

You show me a horse that is willing to run full tilt and I'll show you a horse that is out to satisfy the rider. People forget these animals were broke to be ridden and a means of transportation.. NOT raced and sure not vaulted. Not to mention the life expectancy is shorted due to the drugs and stress they suffer while being worked. The passion should be in how beautiful the horse is and how lovely its gait is.. Racing is Pure sport that kills beautiful animals for someones entertainment.

Ok.Yes. Hoses do and will get injured racing as with ANY other thing they do. But not all race horses are forced to race. Some have a passion for it.Take Ruffian for ex. He broke his ankle racing and yet still tried to run in the er.So not all race horses face cruelty.
