I wasn’t talking racing per sé, just the horse culture in general. Damn near 20 years growing up in it. Breeders, owners and trainers, not to mention officials/rules bodies... Can be some of the sorriest SOB’s you’ll ever want to meet.
Especially when money is involved.
And money is ALWAYS involved in equestrian events. They don’t call it the sport of kings for nothing. And kings always wnt to win, no matter what.
You should go to dog shows. Lots of horse’s asses there.
