RE: [RC] Horse deaths - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFI think that the early "retirement" age of racehorses vs endurance horses speaks for itself (of those that survive). Carrie Kitley 30th Medical Group, Vandenberg AFB DMLSS?Database Sustainment Specialist (DSS) CACI?International Inc? www.caci.com dsn?276-1077, Comm (805) 606-1077 fax dsn?276-1179 <\_~ // \\ carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx? -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ranelle Rubin Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2008 9:30 PM To: ridecamp Subject: [RC] Horse deaths AP report: A recent Associated Press survey found that thoroughbred racetracks in the U.S. reported more than three horse deaths a day last year and 5,000 since 2003, and the vast majority were put down after suffering devastating injuries on the track. OK..and there are folks who think endurance is detrimental to the health of horses?????? Come on, bring it on....we as a group take far better care of our horses, and "create" horses with the structural base and soundness to do the work than what is typically done for these poor horses on the track! Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. ~ John Wayne Ranelle Rubin, Business Consultant http://www.rrubinconsulting.com Independent Dynamite Distributor raneller@xxxxxxx 530-885-3510 home office 916-718-2427 cellular 916-848-3662 fax =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
