I’m fortunate to have spent most of my life working with horses. I do not take this privilege for granted, in either the good times or the bad. It’s fair to say we have had some challenging times in recent years, and, as the 149th Preakness Stakes approaches Saturday, I am more optimistic about our sport’s future now than I was just a few years ago.
The groundswell of positive, collaborative work and collective investment currently being undertaken to advance vital equine safety reforms and innovations is remarkable.
