BART CUMMINGS SPOT ON

I fully agree with Bart Cummings on him on urging the relaxation on horse movements I know he is talking about racehorses but maybe if they free their movement restrictions up they might allow movement within the pleasure horses as well. I fail to see why if the horses have either had EI and tested to be recovered or had both vaccination shots they aren't able to move it makes one wonder why go to the expense
Bart's comments brings to mind a blog from Brett Cavanough the 6/12/07 horsedeals site in which he stated Australia racing was the laughing stock of the world with the inconsistencies of protocols from racecourse to racecourse between 3 race meetings he had attended in 4 days ,among other things he mentioned was the way things are being handled is a load of crap and it was getting to the stage where the DPI should throw the gates open I don't know when that will happen but we can only hope the DPI see sense sooner rather than later I also read the bog 17/12/07 regarding Anthony Cummings concern that he has horses to come back into work but can't move them , you don't need many brains to see the problems the DPI is causing with the restrictions on all horse movements unfortunately these restrictions are hurting a lot more people than ones that own or train racehorses
These comments are made by some of the bigger trainers who know what they are talking about and the changes that need to be made by the DPI to fix the problems all horse people are suffering I am hoping the racehorse owners and trainers both big or small will put pressure on the DPI then hopefully they might sit up and take notice from them and start using their brain and let commonsense prevail regarding all horses
The pleasure horse people aren't getting anywhere with the DPI regarding our concerns with the way we are being treated we just aren't important enough but with some luck they may take notice of the race industry and do something about making the changes needed for the better for all horse people . And allow us to start the long track back to somewhere near normal.
So please all you racehorse owners and trainers keep onto the DPI then maybe they will use their brains and see sense and free up movement and in doing so you will be helping yourself and us pleasure horse people at the same time
