Racehorses are started as long yearlings. The data supports putting youngsters into work, it's not a debate. There is a window of time when horses are...

The horses are out 24/7 according to the OP. Probably not competition horses who are being ridden and groomed regularly. I ride 2 horses every day and...

Umbrella insurance is in excess of any existing insurance, and for the amount, very expensive.

OP has not given any personal details so that...
