How many African Children could be Doctors?

 I travelled through Africa and always thought this question to myself.  Well it doesnt have to be a Doctor, could be an Astronaut, a Scientist, a Lawyer etc etc.  You get the point though.  So many children in so many parts of the world will never reach their full potential because they will just never get the chance. Horses are no different.  I guarantee that there should be twice as many good horses going around but they will never get the chance.  With the risk of sounding dogmatic there is such a massive difference between a trainer and a really good trainer.   Of course this is all about opinions and Joe Bloggs is going to rate Jimmy Horsetrainer differently than Billy Schmublic does.  I just think that better trainers manage their horses........better.   Better feed, better staff, less cutting of corners and a general overall greater level of care.  Looking after injuries and the ongoing detection of them.  Top vets to utilise, the best farriers and more thought put into spelling and pre-training.  Clearly I dont necessarily mean that bigger trainers are the best, and you are always going to get exceptions with freak horses.  It just goes back to my management of young horses post.......Early management is such a massive key to a thoroughbred's future and good trainers do this the best. So the next time you are chosing your trainer for your new yearling purchase or the yearling that you put so much time into breeding ask the questions!  Look at strike rates, speak to people in the industry with differing opinions, watch how people operate.  Cheap is cheap for a reason and just because a trainer has a million in work it doesnt make them the best. Treat your young horse like your child........Do you want your kid to get his/her chance to be the Doctor?
