Depends on how they are doing but yes, ship them back to KY in 7-10 days. Cactus Ridge is at Vinery Kentucky now, he matched really well with her.

In Indiana, just for Appoint's wins, we get a 20% owners award on the total purse. If we were the breeders, look out, make more from owner and breeder award then winning the race. Indiana sired and you can make 30k in awards off a 30k total purse. No, 3 Chim was pimpin them at the yearling sale, but they looked really really good. They were all good people over there, and there is the daughter of a trainer that works there that, holy smokes !  I don't know, but Yes Its True is a damn good stallion, so it should be interesting to see what he can produce with Wundelia as an IL bred. Not many Yes Its True caliber within the IL ranks unless you are Chris Block.

They're bringing back legislation to stop transport of horses to Canada and Mexico for slaughter again. From her remarks on this, I'm guessing Rep. Wallis (R) from Wyoming is also against the federal drug legislation efforts.

I think that there are certain animals we don’t eat in this country.(for whatever reason)
dogs cats parrots slugs rodents Prairie dogs etc... I believe horses should be on that list. It's safe to say that you’re not going to see those items at TGIF or Appleby's. The hunters who eat their deer, turkeys, and whatever else they get pleasure in killing. Fine with me. But when was the last time you heard of someone going out hunting horse for food? Even Ted Nugent doesn't do that! I mean they are out there in the wild! Go shoot one if you’re that hungry and you desire the taste of horse meat. To put them through a horrible death and eat them just because we don’t know what to do with them when they are not of any use to us anymore is just stupid. We should be defending them not killing them. There is nothing good about horse slaughter, period. (nobody's going to eat them anyway) We don’t raise horses to eat. We never did as far as I know. In the 1700's and 1800's you do what you did to survive. I get that, but horses deserve the respect of us because they went to war with us and were used to help build this country. How many horses died in the civil war for us? How many horses died carrying wounded soldiers to hospitals for us? How many railroads were built using horses? Give the horses a break. They are part of this nation’s heritage. The horse racing industry can't save them all but they should try harder to save their own. So donate to your local thoroughbred retirement organization and feel good. [IMG]  [/IMG]

I was given the number of a guy last week who buys horses here in central KY. They are kept here or sent to feedlots in TN. When they have enough for a load they are trucked to New Orleans and put on a boat. They take them 12 miles offshore, out of US water and slaughter then at sea. Process on the boat and return to shore where its shipped overseas or sold black market here. There will ALWAYS be a way around any legislation. What we need is a comprehensive euthanasia plan. In Puerto Ricotrainers can have an unwanted animal euthanized at the track for something like 15 bucks.

Very well said richard burch.
Give the horses a break. They are part of this nation’s heritage. I think that there are certain animals we don’t eat in this country. paisjpq you make a great point In Puerto Rico trainers can have an unwanted animal euthanized at the track for something like 15 bucks. WARNING - MY VENT We must insist that we deal with our country's unwanted horses humanly. Not all can be saved but none of our horses should be slaughtered. As an American I get nauseous thinking about it. It's disgusting. I can't imagine what the people are like that slaughter horses for a living. Being brutally honest, I hope that those people go straight to hell one day. We also need to get our arms around over breeding. That's part of the problem too. We produce way too many horses. This is one hell of a topic and it turns my stomach to no end.

Piga and Cows are not companion animals, they are actually bred for their meat, horses are not. I understand not everyone wants to keep a horse till it dies of natural causes, but than have the balls or guts to euthanize that animal that served you for your pleasure, instead of capitalizing on their grisly death. I have a 22 year old rotten, mean as hell gelding, he's unsound, but I brought him into this world, he won numerous awards and ribbons for me and therefore has earned the right to be taken care of for the remainder of his life, he will be euthanized humanely when his time comes, if I can afford to do this, than people 100,000 times richer than me can, it's just a question of morals and how you truly view your horses.
