The thrill of the horse race track! The sounds of the horses hooves thundering across the track to the finish line, jockeys willing their horse forward, on-lookers cheering on their favorite horse to win–and money changing hands at the end. Ah, the glamor of the horse racing industry.
What happens to those horses when they can no longer race or receive career ending injuries? So often, these horses who are no longer “darlings” of the track, face neglect, abuse or end up at the slaughter house. What a sad, sad ending to a once glamourous life.
