Persuasive Speech: Horse Racing

Tuesday November the 4th marked another Melbourne Cup, promising a day filled with champagne, crowds and colour. 1000s of spectators, staff and jockeys had lined up in the hope of cashing in on some success. Unfortunately this was not the case for the owners of Admire Rakti or Araldo, who

Gaited horses, like the Tennessee walking horse, for example, are a special type of horse. Tennessee walking horses naturally have a higher step. That high gait decreases bouncing and makes a smooth ride for the rider. In walking horse shows, the horse with a highest gate wins the competition. This gate is known as the “Big Lick.” To produce an even higher gait, many trainers have used chains or special horse shoes that cause more pressure on the hooves of a horse. This practice is known as soring, when people cause pain to the lower legs and hooves of a horse to speed up the training for a high (Gang). Thoroughbreds are used for one of the most famous equine sports ever; horse racing. However, these fast horses have a secret that make them go even faster. Performance-enhancing drugs are used by veterinarians, trainers, and owners. This increases the horses speed, but the drugs are used way too often, and therefore damage the horses bones (Cohen). Whips are also a tool of encouragement in the racing industry. That is also hard to separate into black and white. One horse may shy away in fear from the whip, while

Throughout the history of American Quarter horses the main issue of the industry is the extent amount of drug usage on horses. The use of drugs on horses can help for healing and speed up the time of injury recovering, yet most of the time drugs hurt the horses. Today, this abusive action has only increased since the founding of the association. Quarter horses are jeopardized by having drugs injected in them to gain endurance and speed, but people fail to mention the risks that can occur. Injecting horses with dangerous drugs can cause heart attacks that may cause death after their race.

Horses are trained by Heidi’s interns in basic dressage and jumping, very different from their past of galloping counter clockwise around a racetrack.

Introduction Following the economic recession of 2008, a survey of more than 10,000 horse owners appears to suggest recovery of the industry. Results showed that 70.6% of respondents owned or managed the same number of horses they did in 2014, indicating an increase in overall industry stability.

The history of horse racing The ancient sport of horse racing dates back thousands of years. The concept was created by Central Asian nomadic tribesmen who were the first to domesticate horses. Horse racing has been in organized sport around the world from the beginning of recorded history. It is known

Are you a horse lover, or even an animal lover? Well, I know a horse his name is Buck, he is a great horse. Buck is also a racehorse I went to his race one day. I went to go visit him, I guess the grown ups didn’t see me but I saw them putting some kind of drug in Buck. Before they heard me or even got a glimpse of me a ran to my seat. Once they started the race it seemed that Buck wasn't acting like himself. Then he collapsed and the race stopped. I didn’t know what was going to happen next. As a kid, I am still living the kid world. Kids have fresh minds, so I thought horse racing why and how do horses go so fast? Well, it turns out everyone is a cheater in the sport we call Horse racing. In every race you know people want to win, but in the real world do you know how bad they mistreat the horses? Well, you about to find out. How can I prevent racehorses from getting injected with drugs? I really want to help with this situation, but I am just a regular 11-year old I can't do this alone I need help and lots of it. I think this problem can be solved. If more people know about this maybe they will have an interest in this world problem.

In this essay, I will explain the facts, and argue my own views and opinions on horse soring, a topic that has been booming for horse owners and horse lovers in the United States and other foreign countries for the past forty years. This issue has not only been affecting the horse population, but its controversy has spread and became a huge issue in our government. People use soring to win competitions in a very cruel way. Nothing about this issue seems very fair to me whatsoever.

“Statistics over many years have shown that jumps races are even more dangerous and harmful for horses, with up to 20 times more fatalities than flat races” (Horse Racing, 2017). Jump racing is also a lot more demanding then flat races as they are longer, they also jump and run approximately the same speed as flat races and the jockeys are required to be heavier. Many people have even bigger issues with the training and well-being of these horses. If normal race horses have bleeding in the lungs, stuck in stalls for large periods of time, being over-worked and given unnatural foods to improve their performance, it must be the same or even worse for jump racing horses. Just recently at the Oakbank Easter Races another horse was put down during the Somerled Hurdle race, almost the length of three kilometers with hurdles throughout. At the last hurdle, the five-year-old gelding Wheeler Fortune suffered a horrendous leg injury and was euthanized. This is the 17th horse to die just in SA alone since 2009, and 79 horses in Australia since 2006 from this cruel sport. Mr. Bignell, the local racing minister has said “it’s cruel it’s barbaric and doesn’t belong in the 21st Century” after the events at Oakbank. He wants TSA to act on and ban the

Considering the advances in technology in the past decade, it is not difficult to see how technology will affect equine practice in the coming years (Ramey and Baus, 2012). Over the years, the reasons for keeping horses have changed. They are kept for various reasons and have become ever more popular in sports and recreation. The economic value of the equestrian sector stands at £4.3 billion of consumer spending across a wide range of goods and services each year. This has increased from £3.8 billion in 2011. (Beta-uk.org, 2017). Not only are the horses that are being kept for leisure purposes, but also those employed for sport being sold on due to undesirable behaviours. Ridden behaviour problems are prevalent in the UK leisure horse population

Well, horses are at risk of numbers of serious infectious diseases, some of which can lead to death. Regular vaccinations can help keep a horse safe, by ensuring they produce enough antibodies to fight off specific diseases, if they are exposed to it. Vaccinations are proven to help protect against many serious equine diseases. They are often no cures for these disease, and treatment can be painfully expensive with no guarantee of success that a horse will get better. Some diseases can spread so quickly to other horses, or even in the case of the Hendra virus, it can spread to humans. “No one wants sick horses,” Timmins said. “All horse show organizers can do is put the requirements out there and hope that people comply and that they understand why vaccinations are so important. “When a horse pops with a fever at a show everyone is alarmed,” continued Timmins. “If proper vaccination protocols are followed, it is easier for us to figure out why that horse has a fever and treat them quickly and
