Million Dollar Babies: Risk And Reward

It takes only a couple of minutes for a yearling to go through the sales ring, but that is the culmination of two years hard work from the breeders!
What goes into getting a yearling ready for the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale?
We spoke to Waikato Stud’s Mark Chittick to find out!

Enforced training ?. It is rumoured electric shock therapy is used to encourage the animals to run faster ?. God almighty !. Poor horses.

I worked in a shelter. We were blessed to take rejected abandoned ex race horses. I say blessed because usually they don't make it that far. There is nothing more harrowing than having a horse from this industry look you in the eye with trust and fear. And all you want is to give them their spirit back and it takes so much time.

For the horses? Naah, it's terrible. The moment they don't earn money, it's off to the glue factory. Horses deserve better.
