Doesn't quite gel

Something doesn't quite gel for me in the report stating that the Racing
bosses are calling for a national approach to EI crisis. My
understanding is that there IS a national approach.

The National Management Group (NMG) is making the decisions in
consultation with industry representatives, including the racing sector
and pleasure and performance horse sectors.

Perhaps I'm getting cynical, but I can see how it would benefit the
racing sector to keep the pleasure and performance horse sectors
disunited. After all, while we are all running around like chooks with
our heads cut off we are less effective in fighting for our rights. The
might and power of the Racing Industry who is highly organized and have
paid staff can then swoop in and get the lion's share of assistance,
funding and vaccinations.

United we stand, divided we fall so join your state Horse Councils and
the Australian Horse Industry Council, get behind them, let them know
your issues and give them your support. They have been around for a
long time, are mostly volunteers and have been and still are working
tirelessly for us all!
