What the hell is happening to OUR industry???

What the hell is going on with a Horse Industry!!!

We have people having to shoot horses as they cannot afford to feed them.

We have people who are so depressed they are having to see councillors.

We have pony club children sad and crying, depressed and even starting harm themselves (attempted suicide) - YES THAT"S CORRECT- as they cannot visit their horse, attend Pony Club or enjoy a ride with their friends.

We have people who have suddenly became so financially stretched that they are not sure what their future holds.

We have people who have spent years peaking horses in their performance disciplines to now have those horses standing in paddocks, yards or stables idle.

We have Equestrian centres being "taken" over and used as quarantine stables affecting all in their close vicinity.

What the hell is happening to our industry we love with a passion so much?

Is our industry being destroyed before our eyes?

Are you all taking this in?........And what if it happens again?........Do we STOP and slowly DIE for another 11 MONTHS. They are saying June 2008 for NORMALITY......

What the hell is going on? This is a FREAKING JOKE!

Governments, horse racing, and buracrates do not care about the human side of the EI outbrake and the effects socially and physclogically, everything to them is numbers and dollars and to hell with everything else it does not effect them so why would it be a problem to anyone else

This is a "freaking joke", the only problem is...no one is laughing. I'm wondering too, if this will all be happening again next breeding season, though there won't be much of an industry left by then.
