How Do I Find It?
i could find more of this onfprmation by talking to some people who are expert on this subject and looking through some more databases

What Did I Learn?
Racehorses are being absused. They get drugged up just to make them run faster and to make them run and they give these horses drugs if they are injured to cover up their injuries to keep them in the race even though they shouldn't be racing. Plus after these horse totally brake down thevy are sent to slaughter house for horse meat. but not only racehorses are being sent to slaughterhouse wild horses are also captured and sent to be slaughtered.

How do I use It?

i would use this information to futher my research

Post #1. Topic Exploration


I am interested in this topic because i have grown up around horses sense I was little. My mom has taught me how important horses are and how to communicate with them and understand them. So as I grow up and now a senior in high school thinking about what i want in life i have come to the conclusion that horses are my love and passion. I have also worked on a farm in Pownal Vt called Amara Farm, which is a really nice horse barn, this is also another place were I have learned a lot about horses how to take care of them what medication to give them for certain injuries and how much. I was also able to get into riding horses again my instructor who is also my now best friend Karrie Holbrook. So I have decided to write and research on horses abuses in racing and horse slaughter. This will be one way i will stand up for these beautiful and most amazing creatures.
