One of my stepdads horses that got injured as a youngin' and my stepdad wasn't comfortable letting him race, he made zero money on him (well lost money) and he's now living his life out on a beautiful farm with an amazing owner... I keep in touch w/ her through FB. He is a very well loved horse. |
Somehow to me it looks like a hobby and not a way to make money but who am I to say. Some pay millions for the horse and millions for care, training and all the rest that goes with it and never make a penny but the thrill of the win at any time seems enough for them or me
if I had the money to do this.
So glad your stepdads horse is enjoying the good live.
