Ashkal Way and the cruelty of man

[my miss storm cat]

Excerpt, HP stable notes.....

Mettee said Ashkal Way was retired and is being converted into a dressage horse in Maryland by television racing commentator Jeanine Edwards.

For the love of God, why? He's a racehorse.

This is kind of an old story.

Didn't he have a tendon or suspensory injury?

Something like that... I honestly can't remember and that he went to her is old news but dressage?

If given the choice between watching that or falling into a coma?

Oh wait..... same thing!

now which one is dressage? the one where they prance around, or the other one where they jump over fences?

The one where they prance and you're waiting for something to happen and you wait.....

..... and wait.....

..... and wait.....

That one!

Methinks there's at least a little hypocracy being bandied about in this thread.

You would think Jeanine Edwards would know better than to do that to a RACE horse!



Not that there's anything wrong with dressage... if you like that kind of thing
