lastly, I would like to state my opinion on all of this. I think that horseracing is cruel, because the horses are made to be fast, and not sturdy. If you look at them, their ankles are VERY thin compared to a normal horse(a horse that you could find at any old barn). I ride horses, and I do not think that horsebackriding in general is cruel. Some is. When I ride, I carry a crop, but hardly use it. I just lighly press it on the horses shoulder, so that they know that it is there. And horsebackriding does alot for people with disabilitys. Mental and physical.
