If it
weren't for the frequent veterinary checks, which are mandatory, can you
imagine how many endurance racing horses would die because of their

why are we offended by this? I guess the truth hurts - and there are more
and more people getting into endurance horse discovered the sport before they
ever learned anything meaningful about horses. Now THAT is scary. It is just a
comment on the frustrating and sad way the horses are treated when there is a
bit of money or prestige connected with an event. Otherwise, why do we have
futuriy anything, or 2 year old races, or even HAVE to set age limits for
distance horses.
