DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS????? This is awful, awful way to treat, a horse, and this is suppose to be a SPORT!!! Maybe we should turn this around, and have the horse, chase a man around the ring, and have him fall by a trip wire!!!!!!! And see how long, that would last!! THIS JUST OUTRAGEGOUS!!! And the people that does this should have the same punishment!!! BAN IT!!!!
I think that it is wonderful that someone can finally try to put a stop to such abuse. So many horses are left to suffer. I hope the ban goes through.
I agree with Thelda Williams - horse tripping should be outlawed - its cruelty to horses and the sheriff should arrest those who are involved in such practices - Not to long ago when that rodeo was in Phoenix - I called the Sheriff's office and they informed me to call the Department of Agriculture - I called the department and they infact told me they were looking into it. After that I didn't hear anything from them. So lets be one of those States that outlaw horse tripping.
I agree with you all they should put a stop to this stupid act that they are doing to these poor animals. I don't see how anyone can do stuff like this and then think that it's funny. I know that they wouldn't like it if some one done them that way. I say outlaw this stupid stuff!
I wholeheartedly agree that this "sport" that takes advantage of defenseless horses should be stopped. While most rodeo, from barrel racing to goat tying, makes sense to me, this does not serve a purpose and in fact aims to hurt the horses by making them run. I hope it will be a felony to participate in this abusive game!
What a terrible wretched thing to do to a poor horse! It tries to run away because it's so scared, and for some sick twisted reason people think it's funny to make it fall over, injuring or killing itself. Sick people.
I was totally shocked when I read this! How could some one do something so horrible to something so beautiful!
wow. that is unbelievable. I had never even heard of horse tripping until now. It definately needs to be banned in all states. I don't know what kind of people think that that is entertainment, it is just plain wrong.
It should be banned immediately! This is horribly inhumane and just torture for the horses! I don't understand how this can be considered entertainment.
