YOU CAN’T MAKE OLD FRIENDS Most of us work the majority of our lives and dream about the day we can finally retire: a day where we have no responsibilities, answer to no one and can enjoy the fruits of our hard work. Thoroughbred racehorses are no different. They work hard and earn plenty of money for their owners, trainers and jockeys. They deserve a very similar retirement just like the rest of us. However, after their racing careers, most successful horses are sold for breeding. Breeders in Japan seem to be willing to pay top dollar for upper-level horses. I know you don’t want to hear this but after their breeding days, the much-heralded horses no longer hold any value, so they are often sent to a slaughterhouse where their meat is used CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF ...THE RIGHT WAY!
