When passion for racing horses runs in the blood

“Most Kenyans love rearing cattle but I prefer horses,” says Joseph Muya, a breeder and proud owner of over 60 thoroughbred horses. So close is he to his mounts that he “talks” with them every morning.

Mary Binks, on the other hand, leads a life that requires a lot of travelling, but she still manages to raise tens of horses. However, unlike Muya, her busy schedule means that she hires help to do the heavy lifting.
