What next - Vets...

I asked the vet by e-mail, for clarification on the change of name issue, but after 5 days still no reply.
They charge but refuse to motivate their bills.
When I give away money (like in this case) I would like to choose who I give it to. Not enforced charity like in this case.

element i will refuse to pay in fact i will instruct the trainer that my horse is no longer to be treat by that crook

We had a horse I think he had just turned 2 at the time,he got colic on Christmas day,we bred him so he was very close to us, we took him to Blue cross vet, they charge us R45 000, to do the operation, I am still paying my part off, I don't think there was a slower race horse in cape town, that's why I don't like vets.

Between VET and VAT
Heavy on owners

to me it will be interseting to study owner number over last 10 year. every one say no stables raceing is thrive. my point is do individual number go up or down? if markus jooste stop with horse raceing i think big problem

I have had my colors since 2003, I have only had small % shears in horses ,ranging from 10% to 20%,that's what I can afford, the cost to renew my colors ,I think was R1200, which is the same price of a owner with 300 horses, for me this game dose not allow me to in joy it as a small player anymore, its a game for the rich only,and vets are charging accordingly ,I have NOT renewed my colors this year and I don't think I will again,things are getting harder every day,and racing as well.

I've had my equine vet out at 3am on a Sunday to deal with a colic and the bill was reasonable. I swear by this woman. She is expensive but is known by many to play it straight which is more important. Many small house-pet vets that I've been to have no interest other than bending me over and greasing me up. And they don't even pretend to hide it.
