Love and respect for racehorses is at the very heart of everything British racing stands for; thousands of stable staff across the country pour their heart and soul into caring for their horses.
In light of the shocking posts seen on social media recently, the wider racing community has gathered behind two hashtags, #LoveTheRacehorse and #ForTheLoveOfHorses, to show their deep affection for the thoroughbred.
