I worked in the HorseRacing industry when i first left school...I worked for the trainer who trained a very famous racehorse here in the UK..Desert Orchid.
I loved working with the horses and the horses that i took care of i treated like my own..i enjoyed taking them to the races, one of the horses I took care of ran in the Grand National..i can't say that i enjoyed watching the race though as i was terrified that something would happen to him, i loved him like my own horse..at that age (16-19) i didn't think about what happened to the horses once they had finished racing and now i am older and wiser i have looked into it more...alot more is being done for these horses now than ever before thankfully..and i do agree that these young horses are doing too much too soon

..as much as i enjoyed my time in racing..especially being around the horses..it's not something i would do again..i'm much more into animal welfare now..i don't regret my time in horseracing..it was an experience i will never forget.
