Now since horse back riding with the necessary equipment is a dwindling picture, the younger generation does not even know what it is to ride a horse and the thrill that the experience can give. Other than in the movies, the only place where they can watch them probably is the turf club now. But then, children are not encouraged to go to turf club owing o the fear that it might inculcate concept in them as they grow. It is only the people from the upper stratum of society who frequent these turf clubs.
Whenever I have happened to pass by these turf clubs, I kind of feel sad for these horses and the jockeys. The poor animals are overused so that the people who bet on them are able to make money. I still cannot understand why the turf clubs were started in the first place and why these poor animals are unnecessarily made to run day after day. We all know very well what happens to them when they grow old and are incapable of running for their masters any more. If it is only to fill the pockets of those who wager and the companies that organize these shows, should the poor creatures be tormented this way, and they have to run relentlessly irrespective of the weather, however inclement it might be.

Unless a parent has a farm or at least a stable to keep a horse in then some of those kids will not get one.
Fortunately there are zoos families can bring their children to. A zoo is usually little to no cost and the children can see all kinds of animals even horses.
