I'm sure that the people who reported being sickened by what was basically a sickening sight would react with even more intensity, quite enough to please you, if human friends or kin were to suffer a serious injury. None of the posters said that she cared more about a horse than about the humans in her life.

I ask again, since you so clearly care nothing for horses or for us women who love them, why are you posting on this thread? The rest of us would like very much to discuss horses without being criticized for our love of horses.

Give him a break .I know the risks for riders and horses. That adds to the draw for a sport. Risk. Look at the X games, very high risks and kids love it.

The fact is it is tragic that a horse with that much promise might be terminated early.That is part of the heartbreak of horses and racing.

Horses die every day ,ust not on a national broad cast.It upsets people.
