that climate should be very "RESPIRATORY" friendly. fit horses should have strong breathing capasity. i wonder if horses bleed?

i wish someone who is knowledgeable, on the subject would comment.

thank you.

i remain "an ole railbird"

South Africa is backward and has not embraced a lot of the modern techniques that are hurting the breed in America and that is why I like it and support it. South Africa and Germany were made fun of by more "advanced" nations, but their results speak volumes for doing it the old fashioned way.

Good story. It's great to hear about racing in a very different part of the world.

I predict you'll do very well by sticking to your present course. When the North American thoroughbred becomes sufficiently degraded by generations of permissive medication rules, they'll have to come looking for new, clean stock.
