Should Raceing Horse Been Put Down?
Comments (43)That's just it. They don't appear to neglect the horses, it's just that they don't seem to care about the horses given they have the resources to do a whole lot better. They got plenty of dough, and it seems like they just have horses to play cowboy and say they have horses. It's not just the mud, they have lots of trees around that are supposedly toxic to horses. But I didn't know that about the barn thing. I just assumed since Wilber kept Mr. Ed in a barn he was happier in the barn. It looks like they have two pastures that look to be about an acre each but only see the horses in one of them. I'll tell you what really set me off with these people. It's not much evidence but it's enough to get happy-go-lucky Quirky to detest these people. Their house is about 3 times the size of other homes in the area and they have a dog kennel where they keep their dog in the farthest corner of the yard, nowhere near the house. They put the dog in there and rarely have I seen him outside of that kennel. At meal times the dog barks, someone brings him food and then goes away. These people went away for a week or so recently and left the dog in there all alone in the dark, pitch black, and someone came in a car to feed the dog and the horses. The whole time, the dog was howling and crying 24/7 and I called animal control because I couldn't take it anymore. This dog is in that dog house in every weather extreme and I'm just waiting for the day when he digs out of there. That and that alone leads me to believe that these people just don't care. Once in a blue moon the lady will ride the horse but that's about all the quality time I've seen them spend with the horses. True, I don't watch them 24 hours a day but the dog kennel thing... can't get over that. You know, fine if you have to keep your dog outside but I'm talking about this is in the farthest part of the yard from the house, out of sight, out of mind. There is no possible reason to rationalize that. The dog would have to have leprocy to be an excuse. And these people are technically not my neighbors, the subdivision is bordered by a creek and they're on the other side of it. The trees block most of the view of their estate in the summer but in the winter I can see right in their house, I can see the horses from just about any room and I can see how they ignore their poor dog. And it's probably best that I don't get the opportunity to speak to them, since I often lose control over what words are coming from my mouth. When I drive around the area, the other pastures that I see are covered in grass and are dry with no mud. Maybe the mud thing is some therapuetic rich people thing. Maybe it's mud from the bottom of the dead sea and it's an exfoliant. I could be way off. The only thing I can tell you for sure is this is ga and we have red clay. That means mud is supposed to be orange. This mud is not orange, it is brown. And I can smell it from my yard. When I moved in here I thought how cool, I'll have a view of horses and it will look like they're in my own back yard. Now I can't stand to see the horses like that and can't wait until these pine trees grow big and shield me from that. As for the topic, I was under the impression, and it's probably because I watch so much Tv, but I thought these race horses were owned by the mafia....See MoreHorse race ? watching Belmont
Comments (5)just found this....... For just everyday races, someone in the racing office writes each of the entries in a race on a separate piece of paper "called the entry slip", then a similar number of "numbered pills" are placed in a shaker box. On person in the racing office pulls an entry slip for a horse and another person in the racing office pulls a "pill" from the shaker box. The number pulled becomes the horse's post position number. The horse will also wear the saddle cloth with the post position number. In the case of coupled entries (when an owner or trainer has more than one entry in a race)- the coupled entry will be numbered 1 and 1A and will wear that saddle number, however, the horse still goes into the post position numbered gate. For instance, lets say that horses with post positions 6 and 10 are coupled in an entry - the horses will still be placed in the gate according to the number that was drawn, but the saddle cloths will be numbered 1 and 1A. For stakes races like "The Kentucky Derby" or "The Florida Derby", the racing office does the same thing except it is witnessed by viewers in the track on that particular day. The drawings are conducted on a podium, usually televised over the track's television network. Anyone and everyone that is at the track on that particular day can witness the event....See MoreDo you know anything about Wii games??
Comments (17)I can highly recommend Outdoor Challenge. In fact, we think it's better than WiiFit (which we also have) We bought ours at Amazon, but I've seen it at Target. It was around $60 The sports games that come with the Wii are all good and can keep you busy for a while. If you wanna see how to make the strike on the last ball of the bowling TRAINING section which has 91 pins, check out YouTube. It is soooo cool when you can do it. Guitar Hero is one the g'kids like, but even though I love music, I don't especially care for it. Prefer something that makes you MOVE. The g'kids also like Boogie and I like watching them do that one. At least they get exercise with Boogie....See Moreanyone need any nice used horse shoes?

15 years agolast modified: 9 years agoDon't know if this forum is still active, but I just recently discovered this game via some friends over the past weekend and fell in love with it. So, the next day I made my own template and built my board. Great game!

15 years agolast modified: 9 years agoSo, I built my board and I'm pretty pleased with it and how simple it is to make.
Materials:
Wood OSB 4'x 8' - cut game board to 50"x 30"Felt - 1 yrd Green for game board and 1 yrd Black for backing (optional)
Adhesive Spray for felt
Tacks - wrap green felt edges to back of board and tack
Stencils - Lettering / I made the horse stencils
Black Fabric Pen for lettering, lines and graphics - You'll probably want more than one seeing that it takes a lot of ink to go onto the felt. I used 3 or 4 pens
Horses - I got these at a local dollar store - my wife made the racing blankets for the horses and glued numbers to them by using felt.
Dimensions of inner squares 2.5" x 5" - I used a yard stick to keep everything in line.
I'm pretty sure that's it. It's pretty cheap only cost me about $40 bucks to make. Well worth it for the amount of fun you get playing it.
The rules are the same as "mrdave" posted except i just made squares for the "money" horses.
Here's some pics!

12 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI made this horse race game board in 2009. The board was lined and routed, then stained. Letting the stain settle into the routed lines makes them darker than the surface. I used vinyl decals to label the board and then coated the surface with multiple coats of polyurethane.
The horses & jockeys are plastic cake toppers. They come painted identically, so I custom painted the jockey silks to make them each a bit different. The horse cards were purchased online- Horses of the World set. We use 4 pairs of dice and keep one pair in each corner of the board- that way no one has to reach too far across the board to get the dice.Mini poker chips are used instead of coins- the set I use are sold under the name Poker-to-Go. Finally, I had a small plastic trophy Winners Cup made in which to put the chips when players have to pay into the pot.
Here are some pics.
