You are Joe Public, don't know that much about endurance but read in a paper
or magazine HORSE DIES ON ENDURANCE RACE...CASH AWARD 30,000.00. Most of
the riders and people close to the race know the horse died from a heart
attack due to a heart anomoly, not from racing. This does not matter
though, the fact that there is a large $$$ award is all that is needed to
get joe Public and any animal activist to form the same kind of opinion that
we have for so many years try to erradicate. IS THIS THE PUBLICITY OR
EXPOSURE WE WANT? Yes, we will lose horses and some may not be due to the
race itself, it may have been the horse's time but it is harder to convince
the public that our horse's well-being comes first when large $$$ awards are
being offered. We all love our horses more than any award, but do they know
this? Let's offer our sport to public scurtiny in such a way to show we are
in it for the enjoyment and not for the pot of gold at the end of the
trail!!!! It is great that we have the interest of such a company in our
sport and appreciate their intentions...but we know our sport and what is
good for it..lets help direct these people how best to benefit it. Linda
