You may have known that “Street Sense” won the Kentucky Derby. You may also know that he placed second in the Preakness and still you may know that he is not racing in the Belmont. But did you know this horse has been treated and fed in a holistic manner?

Carl Nafzger is Street Sense’s trainer and is known to be holistically minded when it comes to feeding his horses. He feeds a mushroom mix to his horses for a more calm and focused horse.

Good for him, at least there is one thing that I can be happy about the racing industry. Some trainers do care a little about their horse’s overall health OR maybe they just want to win …OK there is my cynical side again. I’ll just leave it alone.
