Racehorses a dying breed

There are big risks in the Sporting World

where animals are employed

Horses cost a lot to train

and no ones overjoyed

when cost becomes a stressful burden

and winnings represent

a tawdry amount then investment

Means more is being spent

the pressure is phenomenal

and sadly what we see

is environmental factors

rising tragically

horses  in the open

are affected by their feed

by dietary supplements

by non organic plant based bedding

all of this does lead

quietly to a negative

In ground water and the air

when herbicides are  being sprayed

the stuff is everywhere

Drying agents accumulation

stress factors they build

outlay becomes  impractical

for its higher than their yield

its an  endocrine disrupter

and presents a risk alas

as the percentage  increases

victims increase en masse

and sudden  death during racing

from cardiac arrest

environmental factors

are weakening the stress

of being whipped and driven

in a violent  aggressive race

leaping over fences

its just a disgrace

Sport involving animals

their performance one can see

not every horse is a  winner

but prize money has to be

coming in if its profitable

then everything is fine

but when horses lose or are not placed

sadly thats a sign

of a very poor investment

and they  just have to go

and the environmental factors

are helping as we know

these chemicals are .far ranging

for humans especially

its a very  nasty chemical

and the highly strung now be

high risk  and if  not performing

likely thus to  be

injured and then  euthanised

which is what we see.

literally thousands of horses many quite young

dying
