Wayne and Michael, -- OT -- race horses in retirement --
an OT question to be sure as far as stocks are concerned but since you seem to be the horse racing fountain of knowledge...
1. what happens to race horses after they retire?
2. If you adopted one, what would/could you expect in terms of possibilities, i.e. cost of care, age, rideable or too specialized in the training it received, retrainable, etc...
I am asking because a student of mine, amateur of horse racing here , was mentioning that 10,000 horses retire from racing each year in Japan (where i live) and a good majority can be had for free... While i still have to check the details, i think we have enough space on the rented farm and was wondering ...
thx in advance,
