The horses love to race just like humans. There is always a chance someone may get hurt, in horse racing or in any other sport even for humans. Isn’t it better for a horse to die knowing it has achieved a great victory then to have died at home from boredom?

Sorry for the owners who loved and cared for the beautiful horse who died too young for the spectators who witnessed a magnificent creature doing what it loved and dying doing what it.

If you agree with the following, submit your comment and say yes if you agree or no If you dont.
1. A crop does not help a horse, for an equine animal can only go so fast
3. Medicine to prevent accidents like this!
4. A sling/cast for horses who injure their legs
5. RACES WITHOUT CROPS!!!
