Even less respect for the governance of that enterprise who allow the individual to take advantage (aka "take the p###) in this way. But it seems their stakeholders never really manage to call them to account .... Just another slap in the face for struggling owners / breeders. Some people should be ashamed. Would be ashamed ... if they had a conscience or a shred of decency ... Like all in that position they really just cant help themselves when on the way out ....... So who is answerable for this latest needless indulgence ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, thoroughbred turnover is down 6% for the ytd. NZTR Represented At IFAR Conference NZTR was represented at the first conference staged by the International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses (IFAR), in Washington D.C. this month. The two day conference was attended by NZTR GM Commercial & Strategy Martin Burns. International advocates for equine aftercare emphasized owner responsibility, in addition to sharing insights on retirement programmes for horses whose racing or breeding careers have ended. The IFAR event coincided with the Pan American Conference, an international conference on thoroughbred racing. Martin Burns noted that “the IFAR conference was attended by delegates of racing authorities, thoroughbred retrainers and equestrian sports participants, all with a common interest in maximising the potential for thoroughbreds to lead second careers as equestrian horses. “The insights gained and relationships formed are valuable to NZTR as we develop our initiatives in this important area. We look forward to detailing this in coming months as we further develop our Thoroughbred Welfare Policy and Strategy initiatives.” IFAR conference topics covered all aspects of thoroughbred aftercare, including post-racing options, connecting aftercare and horseplayers, harmonization of the rules of racing for owners and standards for aftercare providers. Among the speakers was Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. “We all have a shared responsibility for the welfare of racehorses, which extends beyond the track," said Di Arbuthnot, chairman of IFAR and chief executive of Retraining of Racehorses. "Across the entire animal welfare debate, the spotlight is on an animal’s quality of life and the emerging concept of a life worth living. “The welfare of racehorses throughout their lifetime is one of the single greatest issues facing the racing industry,".Arbuthnot added. "A key function of IFAR is to provide help and support by sharing expertise and good practice on a global basis, whilst recognizing cultural differences.” For more information on IFAR visit http://internationalracehorseaftercare.com A video of the IFAR conference and PowerPoint presentation will be available on the website soon. What a waste of farking time...some decent strategies for existing racehorses might be more productive, otherwise the Equestrians will have more bloody horses than they know what to do with the way we are going.....

I'm not sure that I agree Ohokaman. Sending people to conferences on what to do with the increasing numbers of ex-racehorses that the rest of their strategies are creating makes a good deal of sense to me. It is likely a potential growth industry in Petone to keep people in high paying jobs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
