Putting Everything in Context

"There'll be more dogs fatally injured taking walks this year than there will be race horses injured racing. I doubt that we'll stop walking our dogs."

-Larry Bramlage, on-call veterinarian for the
American Association of Equine Practitioners.

I like the fact that he has also pointed out that horses just get hurt in the field -- or walking to and from the barn.

It's not as if even the sturdiest breeds of horses aren't horribly injury-prone - just looking at horse anatomy should be enough to convince the 'intelligent design' people they are on the wrong track...

Dr. Larry could stand to get a dog and walk it .... regularly.
