A good read, many thanks. I am a 'sometime' poster, my involvement in the industry is through ownership of 2 broodmares, potentially a 3rd if things don't go according to plan. We are also part of a syndicate and have been for 15 years, that has been wound up as of today as a business but will continue and potentially will buy/lease instead of breeding, everyone getting a bit long in the tooth for the time span of breeding to race. I do voluntary work for local owners association at workouts and trials but feel I don't know enough to comment on issues raised re the industry, but do love a good read so please everyone else keep up the good work. I am a pacifist and would never rock the boat. Hence my comments generally come under trivia label
