Bigs and Riot i agree with the fact that you can't shield kids from bad stuff i understand that and i agree that the track is fun place and you can see magical things happen there but i just dont see the reason to bring a 5 year old to the track. Just me. And yes i will allow them to have a pet and u know and i know that yes the pet will die and that will cause a lot of heartache. I guess its just the violence that happens when a horse breaksdown such a vivid thing to see in person and im 37 it still makes me upset and i'll stop betting for the rest of the day. Guess its just the way that I view breakdowns. Bigs it sounds like your kids have good heads on there shoulders but like i said just dont see any reason for a small child to see that. I know that bad things happen everyday and you can't shield them from everything. LIke i said just my opinion. Another way of looking at it is to maybe mark the time with my child as a reward and a way for me to show them that i think they are mature enough to go with "pops" to the track. cant believe i just referred to myself as pops. i dont know im not a parent so maybe im just talking out of my butt here.
