    I expected to see unsafe racing, inadequate safeguards etc. I was amazed to see TWO ambulances following the horses and riders, a stewards vehicle, and a very soft padded starting gate that looks more comfortable and safer than many in North America. I am impressed. The track's limited circumference places the finish line too close to a turn. Other than this, bravo on a job well done!

      And the maximum distance for a race is 2400m only which in here,is called the maiden,the biggest race of the season,it's a safe distance so horses won't get too tired

    The grey horse is absolutely stunning. The others are pretty as well.

    These horses have been bred to run. The quality of care and expense to get them to this point is huge. Racehorses from a quality track like this one in France are usually tried at jumping or dressage or another equine pursuit if they fail at the track. To say they are killed for meat is ludicrous. Not these horses from this track.........

      Pippa Heath could you possibly try another line? This one is getting old. France has considered horse-meat a delicacy for centuries. They tend to prefer larger and more sedentary draft horses. Less muscle development means more tender meat. The US has a far less defensible record of how OTTB horses are treated. Stop.

  • @pippaheath2223
    @pippaheath2223 Před 7 lety +6

    do you even know how badly those horses are treated off the track and on

      Pippa Heath fuck you i used to train horses but the way we did, we pushed them little. not what it seems like. carrots, apples, treats after they fot done training, or if they raced, won or not. still rewardrd the horses

    • @LizaWolfhall
      @LizaWolfhall Před 6 lety +1

      Pippa Heath, do you even know how they are treated? Yes some are treated badly but not all. Many racehorses are treated like family! Look at how other people treat their horses and they don't race, SOME of them (NOT all) treat their horse poorly even just because they didn't win a $50,000 jump off or other shows. I go see horse racing every year, and even though they don't win, their jockey loves them and are happy with the place they are in.

    • @watchgoose

      they have to treat them very well or they won't perform well. common sense.

    the riders are pulling way to much on the bits

    • @LizaWolfhall
      @LizaWolfhall Před 6 lety

      But, i mean... show jumpers, dressage, barrel racers, and others always pull to much on the bit, at least most of them are using snaffles

      @laurawilliams9672 Před 6 lety +3

      You go ahead and control 3/4 of a ton of highly excited animal that has no other urge than to RUN with just a touch on the reins. I'll watch. Hell, I'll sell tickets!!

      I don't like how they don't keep their hands high while running because they are pulling on the bit and reins are too short
