My response to Tom's question had nothing to do with sacrifacing a horse
for the sake of a few dollars!!!!!! It had every thing to do with the
wisdom of turning a horse out before a diagnosis and if turning was
going to fix the problem or if there is a problem since the horse was
racing and making money. Weather you think in relative terms or not
making money is the name of the game.Few people can offord the luxury of
the "sport of kings"and the sport today is overcrowded with these types
this is what leads to what you refer to as "sacriface" for the sake of a
few dollars.You do have a "peculiar religion" don't understand what you
read~!!!!!!!!
