Fun idea to help keep the horses cool on a hot summer day !

Fill a solo cup up with half apple sauce half water, freeze over night and squeeze out into their feed pan ! Have fun and add chopped apples or carrot for an extra treat!

"The vast majority of participants in the Thoroughbred industry are involved because of a love, respect, and appreciation for Thoroughbreds. As racehorses, as athletes, for the millions of roles they can fill and joy they bring in doing so. And yet, the few bad actors will continue to give the entire industry a bad name if we continue to turn a blind eye towards them. It is simply not worth the minimum commission associated with allowing a mare like Mims Eppi to go through the sale. The damage to the public perception of the industry when she is being “bailed” with her identification tag still in her tail, far outweighs the negligible financial benefit to allowing her to sell. It is past time the industry stood up and banned behaviors so clearly not in the best interest of the horse.

I ask Keeneland, Fasig-Tipton, and OBS to set an example and adjust the conditions of sale to protect at-risk horses, as well as increasing the criteria to purchase horses through their auctions.

I ask industry participants to look at their own aftercare and retirement policies and confirm there are plans and funding in place to ensure safe futures for all horses in their care and make appropriate decisions regarding the time of retirement."
