The following highlight my current work, which is essentially working on the horse slaughter issue while galloping horses at various racetracks in North America. I am currently at Woodbine, ON Canada.- Alex Brown Exercise Rider and Horse Welfare Advocate: Blood Horse's Talkin' Horses

- Sensible debate over unwanted horses would help anti-slaughter lobby: My essay on why horse slaughter is unecessary and is simply a demand-based business.
- New York Times: The Rail I helped cover the 2008 Triple Crown via this blog. Very cool experience and exposure.
- Alex Brown Racing: Started with Barbaro, now following horse racing in general, my exploits (traveling from racetrack to racetrack) and pushing to end horse slaughter. We have active discussion boards.

Marketing and Business School Admissions Work

Yes, it is a shame. But, as you know, it will still be about the horses - that hasn't changed.
What changed with this Rescue is what you have noted many times - it all works better as a team. That is true.
If an emergency should befall Horsefeathers, I have no doubt the community will continue to band together in offering whatever assistance we can.
IMHO, you were blindsided with initial, secondary, and ultimately deep-seated issues. The conclusion was predetermined.

Yes, it is a shame for the horses that your ego banned HF. All praise King Alex or fear the consequences!
