My Opinion on Horse Racing

I am not, and I never have been, a fan of horse racing. On this post, I will explain why I feel this way.

Most horses in the racing industry are started at around the age of 2. This is much too young to be starting a horse, especially for something as harsh as racing. A horses bones are not fully developed until they are about 7-10 years old. So, when they are ran so hard at such a young age, they can develop hoof and bone problems in the future. 

Many people who are apart of the racing industry treat their horses as investments, and throw them out once they no longer have any use to them. 

Many of the horses that are bred for the horse racing industry are not raced even once, and lots of them get sold to slaughter houses. 

I hope I have helped to spread awareness to the cruelty of horse racing. Watch the video below for more information.
