The day at Saratoga Race track where I felt the electricity run right through my body.

13. That's a little harsh, and simply not true.

It is sad horses do not heal when they break a leg like we do. That's how they were made. They put horses down out of mercy. You may not know that.

We put on a cast when we break a leg. 6 weeks later we are healed. That doesn't work with a horse. People have tried.

If horses bones healed like ours there would be very few horse deaths.

You may also not know this. Horses by nature are very high strung. They are easily panicked. Horses kill themselves when they are in their stalls, out for walks, running in a pasture on a farm, getting a bath, at stud, etc.

Horses love to run. Horses love to race. Nature made them the way they are.
