    There is no wrong, so there is not fault. You gain money or you lose fun. You may gain enjoyment too. It's a questionable event when it comes to treating horses this way, however.

    I agree. Humans treat animals abysmally. We lock them up in cages and charge money to stare at them. We kill them for fur or leather or food. We use them to experiment on in research labs. We let them starve, beat them or abandon them. Many humans are inhumane. Thank you for your reply D and D and Happy Tuesday to thee!  :)

    If one chooses to gamble, losing is a risk one takes. I would not blame the horse.
