exactly-there's no guarantees for them, just like for us. saint liam was off to a life of relative leisure, as was kona gold. how many broodmares each year that are lost....it's just like life for everyone else-highs, lows and everything in between.
i just find it odd that so often people complain when a horse retires at three, but a few years later they're way too old? eight is relatively young for a horse. how many of john henry's performances would we not have had he quit at eight?
