I am very gratefull that I have gotten to where I am in this buisness , Im gratefull to be working for someone who really does care and has the knowledge to know when to hold em and when to fold them.
There are really no full proof ways to prevent horses from getting injuries other than not racing them , even the best horseman still have horses get hurt , all we in this industry can do is our best , unfortunitly there are people who dont do their best or who just plain dont care.
