So i just read that yet another jumps horse "whatsourgo" broke his leg in the last race hurdle in a race at mooney valley. That brings it to six horses dead this year alone in Jumps Racing Victoria.

This is really really starting to sh*t me. Something NEEDS to be done and nothing seems to have worked so far. I feel rather hopeless.  Any new ideas??

Sorry, just needed to vent!

How 'disposable' race horses are to the industry makes me sick.

What would happen if we killed injured gymnasts?

I agree, I saw that video- hopefully that makes it a little easier for people to understand what's going on with jumps races :]

in the case of rhythmic gymnastics... the world would probably be a better place... or atleast the olympics would be.
