All these opinions are great and really helpful, as it's actually going towards one of my assignments for my degree, bit cheeky I know but if any of you also have the time to fill out this survey it would be amazing, but obviously no worries if not :) thanks again...

Yeh that would make sense. That's interesting about Sweden, will try and have a look to find out why, may be they have stricter concerns over full development! Thank you :)

You don't happen to know when you were watching it, and whether I'd be able to pick up a link for it anywhere? Would really like to see that!! It's so difficult because the thing that tends to both me is that there are studies going on about the physical damage that this does to them, which of...

Yeh I think that's a good point Are show horses shown as 3 year olds ridden? There are rules to say that it is not allowed to happen. I'm not saying you are wrong but I am actually interested to hear if you have seen this rule being broken. I don't think I can agree that they are doing lighter...

What do you think on the racing of young horses, 3 year olds, and the fact that these horses are in training from the age of 2. The impact it has on them physically and mentally. Why racing is the only discipline that allows horses to compete before the age of 4 Whether these races pull in...

It has been current recently about whether or not the young horse classes are putting too much pressure on producers and the impact it is having physically and mentally on the horses that are competing at this level. But i just would like to know people's thoughts on the racing of 3 year olds...

I am interested to know people's opinions on the racing of young horses, 3 year olds and training 2 year olds. Could be positive and negative?? The impact it has on the welfare? Whether or not the racing industry have to hold these races in order to make enough money? Why other disciplines...
