Another horse died today when jumping at Folkestone. Why must these animals suffer so that we can enjoy this sport. Stop betting on jump racing.

Although racing per se is not natural for a horse Jumps is very unnatural - the animal would avoid an obstacle in the wild not try to jump over it - I would support a ban but then what would happen to all the old flat horses that find a home over the jumps? Very difficult position - Remember it is natural to die but the circumstances you die under may be unnatural or cruel

Have a post running on the subject,although must clarify im not ante jump racing im ante Summer Jump racing.Running horses over obstacles on concrete is just obscene imo.
