It's very sad for the horse and all who loved and cared for him and worked so hard to bring him back to the US for good, but who's to say if such an injury couldn't have happened to him just as easily if he'd remained in Japan? Stuff happens with horses and we can't wrap them in bubble wrap. While older horses in their 20s sometimes can have issues with a change to their location and routine, many don't, so it's not inevitable. This tragic injury doesn't appear to have anything to do with his relocation or his degree of contentment in KY.

We uproot them from a home they know and subject them to stressful transatlantic flights and, too often, we just bring them home to die within a few months. I don't know what the answer to this is, but I suspect we need to really evaluate whether we are truly serving the horses.GRC_Ltdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563860284455909192noreply@blogger.com
