The new TB movement seems to be working at least giving some of these great horses a new lease on life. We should all support these organizations in any way that we can. Every bit helps!sega61https://www.blogger.com/profile/00905858668498941635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902023015902241936.post-57906441010624948052013-03-17T10:00:55.808-04:002013-03-17T10:00:55.808-04:00I love it!
I also love that the Hunters are going ...I love it!<br />I also love that the Hunters are going back to the TB as well.<br /><br />Alas TBs and STBs are still heading to slaughter and otherwise not finding a just reward for their work on the track. The rescue I volunteer with was at a local-ish sale last winter, found a lovely TB with a knee... bought her, got her vetted and Xrays showed a shattered knee and bone below knee was fractured vertically. Little chance of recovery, so she was put down. Cost the rescue over $1200 not incl the Xrays which I payed for.<br />Turns out trainer knew, and instead of spending the $100 it cost to put her down at the track, he gave or sold her to a guy he knew, who took her to this sale which killbuyers frequent and ship direct to Canada for slaughter for human consumption.<br />Nevermind that this mare, one can assume, had to have had at least a bute or worse during her month layup after coming off a race or work with this injury... bute, even just one, being a banned substance by the EU for horses for slaughter for human consumption.<br /><br />Anyway, that's me on my sopabox...
