2400 less horses in the 10 years means :
800+ grooms without a job
60+ assistants /stable employees without a job
40+ trainers lost to the industry....

800 owners gone in only last 5 years ......

Its a blerrie tough game , how I still survive i dont know , only 3 owners and I have 17 horses in my stable with 2 of them off to stud soon ....

Hang in Ziets you do a great job.

Communication to owners could not be better 🤞🙏
