    [RC] Ft Howe or ANY fast race - John & Sue Greenall


    We have been going back and forth defending this and that about what endurance horses can do and how it may look. Tired vs pushing, etc. But Frank just summed it up in one sentence

    "    Each horse that participates on behalf of the owners/riders, (whether they are "mediocre" endurance horses or horses who don't know the word "quit"), is entitled to perform "their job" without jeopardizing their present or their future, when, for the most part, serious injury or death is avoidable."

    I do wish that this was so easy to judge, even in the perspective of the Ft. Howe horses. The proof, however, is if these horses can come back and perform again. Unfortunately, hindsight is the best sight here.
