The Horse Racing Hall of Shame

This is a forum for people who love horse-racing but love the horses too. We want to make sure that the racing industry puts the welfare and safety of the horses FIRST, despite the financial pressures within the industry that lead to over-breeding, racing the horses to the ground or sending them off to slaughter for a quick, easy and profitable disposal method. We are DEMANDING industry accountability through less breeding, more retirement funding & putting an end to racehorse slaughter.

"Friends of Equines" Beseech Congresss

Click on title above to see the petition we have sent to our US Representatives, just to give them a warning about things to come in the Halls of Congress next year, and beseeching them to support our proposals to amend the farm bill and the economic stimulus act to give some of the $444 million dollars in tax-break money bestowed upon the equine industry back to the horses for rehoming and retirement. We think this is a good idea. Dont you? If not, why not? We would like to know.
