Thank you Patrick. But for you, the names of these beautiful horses would be forgotten. I appreciate your deep and abiding commitment to be a voice for those who can no longer be heard.
Yes Susan, I too am so grateful to Patrick for Horseracing Wrongs. Without this, we would never know these horses’ names, never know they shared this earth with us. I never miss reading HW….it is so distressing, but the sadness and discomfort I feel is nothing compared to what they’ve endured. We owe them this, at the very least.
Amen, Susan and Joy. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Carvey may have been vanned off but he is back working at Beulah Park as of April 10, 2014.
Carvey…Charles Lawson. Hoping for miracles for you, Carvey.
