We love making jokes, but love 🐴 more. We encourage and support widespread reform with regard to equine medications, standards of care, and treatment during and after thoroughbred racing careers. We desire sparkling ethics, so we can enjoy the sport happily and encourage others to become fans, too!
HAPPY RACING, YA’LL!
💋 Trixie and Weej
