Horse crisis in Kentucky

[freddymo]

Look I completely understand that the price has doubled but annual expense is 1000 more per animal. The costs even for pet can be double that figure. How a race horse owner can be involved with a horse that he or she is not feeding correctly is mind boggling. I can't imagine someone saying " dont buy hay and feed it to the horse because the price is 25 instead of 12"

Danzig maybe Pletchers hay is 27 a bale and that is why his stock wins so much? lol

I hope DT Stables is buying the premium 26/27 dollar hay for their stable.

It sounds like people not feeding their pets which I do understand and realize happens when people get overextended. Race horses arent pets and some let you know that the minute you try to pet them.

Freddy.....I never thought of you as an animal petter. Shocking.


Are you sure you weren't trying something else besides petting when the animal "let you know" ?

yeah, maybe


it's just that not every owner really cares. which makes me wonder why they're an owner to begin with. how often do you pick up a paper, or read online about horses who are neglected/starving and had to be rescued. there's no excuse for it, but sadly it happens. and fairly often it happens to horses who are owned by people who can afford to feed them, and just don't bother.
