gypsy trotting horses

no one gave you sh**ty remarks - THey gave YOU THEIR opinion as YOU gave YOURS

I merely asked why you replied too just my posts, was simple question you gave your answer and that was that!

some agree with tethering and trotting and gypsies.. some dont. We are all different and dont beleive the same things thats all. There is no right or wrong ( well there are better ways to look after horses etc) more like preferences. what one person deems suitable for an animal is not another persons way!

hope that clarifys the situation

no im not but i have some very good friends that are. george one of them god i wish i had the talent and ability that he has. (no he's not one for flogging them either!)
i've watched him on loads of occausions on different horses getting the best out of them not though fear or beatings, he just seems to have this understanding with them. it's amazing. i watched him ride around a x-country course (including steps both ways etc) with a dressage saddle on because the owner forgot to put the other in the trailer he had only ridden it a couple of times, he didnt move!
 
thank you properbo for claifying the situation but i didnt mean you or just this post.
i didnt think you were giving me sh**ty remarks, we were having a kind of debate.
 
hello,i am new on here,i race pacing and trotting horses on the road,so please feel free to ask me any questions you have about,if i could say any horse that is road racing is treated as good as any horse could be,there is always exceptions including you riding poeple,but my best 2 horses which are coloured 9/10 full breds(standard bred),when getting them fit which takes between 8-12 weeks it costs me roughly £100 a wk per horse,so forget the myth that a road racing horse is mis-treated,they eat better than i do,you only get out of a horse what you put in as some of you must know,also they take a very big commitment to train all in all 2-3 hours every day, please dont think that all travellers horses are mistreated,some are like some are with all types of poeple but if you see some racing early in the morning i can almost guarantee they are very well kept and looked after. any questions on this subject i would be happly to answer,
 
Firstly for all the people that think that the horses are treated badly are wrong, i can more or less guarantee you that troting horses have the better food and all the suppliments than any of your horses, mine are shoed once a week sometimes twice!! its in the horse to go like that and its the natural movement all we do its progress on it. secondly racing on roads i personaly think is safer for the horse because on the circuits there are lots more accidents where a horse gets its front legs caught on the sulky in front and if that happends it brakes its leg and gets put down, i can agree with all the road users who get stuck behind it all and it is annoying but as it is such a popular sport why cant there be allocated roads for us??? im not saying that evrery travler treats there horse properly but non travelers dont always treat thers in the right way either, and i think its rong to tar everyone with the same brush!
