Re-training track horses can be a very rewarding endeavor. Thoroughbreds, in general, are kind and good-hearted souls. However, because of the nature of the racing industry, track horses are too often rushed through their early training and are not handled with any sort of finesse. This can lead to hard to handle and dangerous animals and horses of this sort require a great deal of patience and skill to bring them back from the volatile nature of track life. Not all such project horses live happily ever after.
