Responsibility for ex-racehorses

[Linny]

Actually there are more Quarter Horses in the US than any other breed. TB's however are more likely to be related to "famous" horses. Sure, a Dutch Warmblood might be related to Aristos B, but most people have no idea who that is. They do know who Secretariat or even Seattle Slew or Affirmed are. To say a rescue horse once showed at Devon or Upperville means little outside the show world. Most people know of Churchill Downs as the home of the Derby or of saratoga or Belmont or Santa Anita.

The last owner is responsible I would guess.

I have cared for a few rescued horses in my time as a veterinarian, but none that looked as bad as that mare.

And she does look like her great great granddad, he was and still is my hero.

Great job by some caring people.

i knew there were more QH's bred each year...which ought to tell you that they are overbreeding as well! that's a lot of horses, just in those two breeds each year.
