Behind the romanticized facade of thoroughbred horse racing is a world of injuries, drug abuse, gruesome breakdowns, and slaughter. They weigh at least 1,000 pounds, have legs that are supported by ankles the size of a human’s, and are forced to run around dirt tracks at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour while carrying people on their backs.
Between 700 and 800 racehorses are injured and die every year, with a national average of about two breakdowns for every 1,000 starts.
What can you do?
