We have a real problem.
We are breeding
12,500 horses a year to fuel a racing industry that requires nowhere near that many. What happens to the ones who don’t make it?
We have weakened the breed, leading to greater wastage. It is a myth that many can transition into equestrian, which is mostly populated by purpose-bred warmbloods from
Europe. The warmbloods are better movers and clean-legged. They’re more powerful, shorter coupled and jump bigger.
One of the only avenues for ex-racehorses is in eventing.
