Money, Money, Money

September 30, 2006 by Christine Meunier 1 Comment

Sometimes, I hate the horse industry…

We’ve had a few ups and downs at work as is commonly the joys of the breeding season with horses, and every year through talk with friends, it becomes more apparent that people are in this ‘game’ because they have enough money to own a horse or two. Pity that it’s seen as a hobby, sport or financial game rather than an animal’s life and they don’t have enough money to continue it’s life if it’s not considered worth it.

There always seems to be an incidence where something has happened to a horse, affecting it’s ability to race and although it is healthy enough to live (after an operation and thousands of dollars later); the situation is assessed, the animal isn’t ‘worth’ the amount of money it costs to operate and consequently, it is put down. Some ‘game’ that is!

Ideal world for this not to happen – I know; but when I have my own property, I can’t wait to each year invest in an animal that would be in such a condition that due to money, it runs the risk of losing it’s life. It’ll be amazing to teach children the value of someone’s life and have them help treat, feed and nurse the said horse back to health and more ideally, into a future riding pony. Oh for the funds, time and experience to do so now!

Got the funds? Consider:

“All I need to know in life, I learnt from my horse: Follow the herd, that way you can’t be singled out to take the blame.”
