Dr. Hansen said in his blog that Hansen’s trainer, Mike Maker, is on board.

Seriously? You have a remarkable creature in Hansen, and you want to dye his hair? How undignified for the horse.

While I appreciate the beauty of thoroughbreds, the problem with the sport is how stale it is. No one cares about us, save a few fans here and there. Maybe adding a bit of color is just what we need.

Once we resort to dying their hair, what is next? Painting ads on them?

I have to agree with Dick Hertz from Holden. Don't mess with perfection
