I'm not sure of your point HH. I actually happen to think colic surgery itself is pretty cruel. When faced with the decision, had my mare been a good candidate for it, I would have gone ahead selfishly. But u believe the surgery is cruel and selfish. The pain the horses are in afterwards, the recovery they have to go through, and the lifetime concern about their health isn't right to me.


But giving horses drugs & addicting them, just to race them is...?

BTW, I've never seen a colic surgery near as painful as Twist was with his abscess & I'm sure glad I didn't put him down...as it took the longest I've ever seen to heal & he walked on three legs for almost a month. But had to lay down constantly & moaned constantly...
