RE: [RC] Horse deaths - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

I think that the early "retirement" age of racehorses vs endurance horses 
speaks for itself (of those that survive).

Subject: [RC] Horse deaths

AP report:

A recent Associated Press survey found that thoroughbred racetracks in the U.S. 
reported more than three horse deaths a day last year and 5,000 since 2003, and 
the vast majority were put down after suffering devastating injuries on the 
track.

OK..and there are folks who think endurance is detrimental to the health of 
horses??????

Come on, bring it on....we as a group take far better care of our horses, and 
"create" horses with the structural base and soundness to do the work than what 
is typically done for these poor horses on the track!
