| << Most of you might not know the present situation of
blood horse for racing. Despite of the much annual number of the
horse given birth, most of them die of injury until they mature enough to
become race horse. Moreover, after retiring, most of the lucky
horse, except the winning horses of the biggest and highest ranked races, did
not have enough lack not to be killed for lack of spece and money to keep them
until they pass away naturally. I would like to save such horse's lives as
much as possible and therefore I wish to use the land, as broad meadow to foster
such old horses.
The reason why I would like to save them is that horse
can give us many opportunity to consider important things as a human being,
because of their physical beauty and tragedy as one of economic animals, race
horse. Their beauty, especially its figure and movement move us as
we look at beautiful scenery or artistic things. However at the same time,
shocked to know their severe reality, we are bound to consider how happy human
beings are, guaranteed the right to live freely and how much animals we
sacrifice for our own benefit. It is because race horses have to run every
day at the cost of their lives since their legs are so vulnerable that if broken
bone usually means death for them. To the worse, blood horse cannot live
in wild since it is yield only to run fast and have insufficient
sufficient physical strength to live without care of keeper. Thus,
abolishing horse race means extinction of blood horse. Thinking about this
paradoxical things, we have to keep it in mind in order for us to live our lives
as hard as possible and not to sacrifice animals unnecessarily. I suppose
that we should keep horses after retiring as possible in the lawn field, in
return, since they tells us our blessed situation as human being and the
wonderfulness to live freely.
Because of these reason, I would like to utilize the
land to cherish the retiring race horses to save as many of their lives as
possible. Of course I could not let all the horses, but at least I can
compensate for their hard working as race horses more than now.
Besides, the ranch might give precious chance for children to touch on
horse and to become gentle people.
