A. Why did she have unsupervised access to these horses so close to racing time?
B. At least one of those three stabbed horses is going to be traumatized from now on, now knowing just what to expect from the random human beings moving around them.
It will be a long time before those animals forget.
C. 17 y/o or not, she needs to be identified, so other horse owners know ‘danger’ when they see her.
She should be charged as an adult, not a minor. 20 years hard time. Banned for life from rodeos or dealing in horses..................
“A. Why did she have unsupervised access to these horses so close to racing time?”
I went to many, many horse shows when our daughter was competing 20-30 years ago. I don’t recall any of them having any security or entrance checks to the barn and paddock area. It was all very congenial, familial, friendly and inviting.
