Do away with us...and there will be very little left
Absolutely well said Tracy Stead. (Saturday 24th November Blog posting)
Apt and accurate.
WIth Arabians and Appaloosas at stud, holding day clinics, with horses who compete at all levels, including EFA with leading coach John Downes and his trainer Christian Thiess we see all this and more.
We have never dogged the old and faithful who have earned income. Often working well into their 20's as confidence builders for newcomers.
The old mares whose fertility gives out but are in good health.
We don't breed much for ourselves because our horses sell themselves.
What now??
It's all as Tracy Stead outlines and is part of the 80% of the Australian Horse Industry which thrives and survives with ordinary people.
People who muster, who draft, who compete in one way or another. The people who make the Australian Tradition of Royals, International Rides and Competition. The people who keep the saddleries, trainers, coaches and reputation of Australian horsemen/women 'up there' in the international Billboard.
Do away with us...and there will be v. little left.
The cartels and huge Equestrian shareholders will be holding v. little.
Why?? Because many of those who support the TAB were, in fact, once upon a time the active people of the ordinary horse industry.
Go figure.

i'll tell you and tracey who is left. Do you single minded people realise that the racing industry is the second highest employment industry in AUSTRALIA. 1st is hospitality. What about all of the little fish in the racing world that rely on their wages from the racing industry to support our pleasure horses etc.
We are not all millionaires.
We may train and strap race horses
but i can assure you that if the racing industry did not get the extra leg up they have been given there would have been thousands of NORMAL people like you out of work. Then you'd all be crying how terrible the racing industry is.
Get over it farmers have drought, vineyards have hail they all lose money and have to take bank overdraughts to support them through these times. WHY dont you start blaming the Quarantine station were this started.
If rabies was bought into the country courtesy of the QUARANTINE station who would you blame then, the poor little puppy that brings it in. Get real and go back to the source of the problem....
