Re: [RC] lowered age limit - Diane Trefethenheidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:As a breeder of endurance horses, I will gently disagree.... I don't want my horses to be flash-in-the-pan wonders--I want them to have long careers. It does a lot more for my business to have horses out doing well over many years than to have them race a few times and disappear. So my "business interest" and the interest of horse welfare are one and the same... But Heidi... YOUR interest, and that of a number of breeders of Endurance horses, is in the horses you breed, not in the big bucks you're going to make. Which brings up an interesting question. Just who WAS it who pushed for the lowered age limit? Follow the money. Who stands to make a lot off the change AND doesn't give a rat's ass about what happens to the horses? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
