Here we are again, discussing why horses are dying on the track, either racing or preparing to race in some of the biggest events in the equine world. With all of the money, effort, and eyeballs invested in these horses, why does the national spotlight keep finding something shine on at the racetrack?
In this episode, Helena welcomes back veterinarian, Dr. Madison Seamans, to talk about why it is just so darn hard to find the root cause (or causes) of racehorse deaths. It’s a fascinating conversation, and one that may open your mind, so listen in!
