Horses in the Morning

Delve into the shadowy world of unsanctioned "bush track" racing and the significant risks it poses to horse welfare, jockey safety, and the broader U.S. equine industry. Julie Broadway is joined by AHC Legislative Affairs specialist Amanda Kadilak and intern Aditri Singh to discuss their multi-year investigation into these illicit operations. Additionally, this month's legislative report explores how current trade policies and tariffs are directly impacting the economic landscape for horse owners and businesses.
