I think that we all know that horse racing isn't always the glamorous Sport of Kings that it's portrayed to be. There is a lot wrong with the industry.
For the most part, through this blog, I've found the majority of equestrians either enjoy racing or tolerate it. I guess that those who don't probably aren't reading this blog or wouldn't state their opinion openly for fear of the backlash it would bring.
There is a lot said about racing that is very true and a lot that is overdramatized. The exceptions are made out to be the rule quite often.
A few months back, Lauren at She Moved To Texas did an anonymous survey (link here) about what people would say if they could say it without everyone knowing who they were. I found the results very interesting. A little surprising too.
Inspired by that, I would really like to know what your thoughts are on the horse racing industry. The survey is completely anonymous and no IP Addresses will be saved. I won't know who you are and neither will anyone else.
What is your opinion of horse racing? (survey link)
Yes, I realize that I am opening myself up for a lot of criticism here. That's okay, I've heard it before and I'm not going to get offended by the responses. It'd be really stupid to ask for opinions and then get mad when they are given. I do ask that you try to keep your comments about the entire industry and don't name anyone that you may single out. You get to stay anonymous, give them that privledge too. I won't publish any answers attacking a person that is named. The poll is open until 12:00 am MST Tuesday, February 17th. I will publish the responses then.
*I am considering doing a What's Your Opinion series, if this goes well. What do you guys think? I'm also in need of more blogs for my New Blogger series, so if you're a new blogger that would like to be featured, please email me at jodiperkins1984@gmail.com.

ReplyDeleteIt's a very difficult sport to be involved in for sure. The bad parts are heart breaking.
