@ashleykahabka What's your point? That it was okay for these people to force this horse to perform and get injured so they can win a prize? Are you that shallow?
These people have not a clue how to handle horses and are completely incompetent. Lets strap them up, beat them a little and see if they walk fine. These bastards need to leave the planet.
Hoarse is new, as the announcer said, and wasnt use to the flank strap, stumbled, and walked away fine, doesnt like being lead around by the other horse so it sits down, not an injury at all, the horse was young and hadn't been in many rodeos. He was spooked by the loud noises, he wasn't hurt, he stumbled, its like hitting your thumb with a hammer, it hurts for a minute but then it goes away. Horse is fine, just a little bull headed.
@Bullrider015 ""wasnt use to the flank strap,"" meaning it's unnatural for the horse. ""doesnt like being lead around by the other horse so it sits down,"" That's a new excuse.
""spooked by the loud noises,"" More rodeo indifference to what the animals are enduring so yahoos can win prizes.
@Bullrider015, LOL, oh, stop, you're killing me! ROFLMAO!! They are "bread" by the thousands, to find the very few that will always fight the flank. Sick twisted cruelty. That's rodeo. "REACH GOALS"?? LOL!!
@Bullrider015 horses are herd animals and do like being "lead" by other horses because they feel safer in a herd. Horses do not naturally "sit down" unless something is severely wrong which is very clear in this video that he has tore or even broken a tendon or bone in his hind leg.
@Bullrider015, lol, as if a bull-rider has any clue about horses. LOL!! Hell, at the NFR, the ANNOUNCER said quote "The bull-riders aren't too savvy about saddle horses". You have NO idea what you are talking about. Go spur your butt. Give you something useful to do.
ok well i see this video and i noticed that the horse was fine the bucking strap rigging was dangling down and befor you start ripping on rodeos look at people do in their own back yards. i seen starved animals of all sorts.
@melgreger2010 Our 200+ rodeo videos clearly show animals being unduly harassed, injured and even killed for nothing more than entertainment and prizes.
i hate these fucking people that just abuse horses and animals for fucking MONEY! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THE HORSES HEAD WHEN IT GOES THROUGH ALL THAT PAIN!!!! LETS MAKE THE HORSES THE COWBOYS AND THE MEN THE HORSES AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT!!!!!
Ok so the horse is sitting down because it is in severe pain and the anouncer is making jokes about it. For petes sake if people don't think this is wrong then those are the people who are there cheering on this abuse. And don't say people are not aware of the infury because it is clearly obvious. Okay sure this is part of many cultures and what not and I respect that but when poor innocent lives are put in danger that is when I get angry. Things serously need to change. Thanks for posting this.
Ok here's the deal I agree that it is a terrible thing when any animal is injured but the fact is that noone has any control over when things like this happen, and the pickup men are not forcing that horse to run at all the horse is running of his own will, also they have to get the animal out of the arena so it can be better cared for behind the chutes, the announcers are simply doing their job and keeping the crowd calm so the animals aren't spooked and injure themselves further...
@sealy2392 The very nature of this event is injurious to animals, yet they do nothing to modify/change or stop doing it when they have absolute control to do so. Yes, the humans are responsible for these animal injuries.
@SHARKonlineorg okay i don't surport rodeos, and i'm not saying this is okay, but um yeay the horse fell and got a fright. um but if you look at it when it's led out of the arena, it's not even limping... but i agree this is not a cool sport and horses get injured.
this is very sad i never went to a rodeo and i never will this is sick i cant imagen what that hourse is thinking there always acting natrual and they get this...its good that your showing people this tourture
WOW THE ANNOCER JUST CAUSING ATTENTION TO SOMETHING WHILE THAY JUS MAKE TH HORSE RUN IT OFF THINKING ITS GOING TO HELP. I USED TO GO TO THESE THINGS AND I LOOKED UP TOO THEM AND WOW!!! IM VERY SHOCKED
My heart broke for this poor horse. For those who say that accidents happen in any sport, true, but apart from the fact that this horse was not in this sport voluntarily, generally when an athlete (equine or human) is injured, there is an immediate caring response from both fellow competitors and spectators. Here there was none. Imagine a human athlete collapsing to the floor in pain, unable to stand, and the game continuing, not a word mentioned...horrid indifference to the suffering of others.
That horse may have just sprained something but after being forced to RUN all the way back across the arena they probably turned what might have been a recoverable injury into a fatal injury. Jerks.
its a clever trick those pick up riders use when horses are injured. They prey off that herd mentality horses have, so no matter if it hurts the horse will run and follow other horses. Also, Horses can lope or canter on three legs because its a three beated gait. But with the walk, gallop and trot, every foot is holding it weight at some point. Thats why he sat down on his hanches because he couldn't support his own weight was it was properly distributed.
You've never stepped wrong and hurt your ankle before??...accidents happen in sports! Get over it and maybe you should post the whole story and not just your side of it
@missy8538 The whole story is rodeo is completely unnecessary. And they harass, injure and kill animals while doing this completely unnecessary activity.
@SHARKonlineorg Rodeos are not for hurting animals it is a sport to do something with the animals you have.I know of no body in a rodeo that wants any animal to get hurt no more than a coach on a football team wants his players to get hurt or any other sport.Maybe next you can go to peoples homes and video there goldfish swimming in a tiny bowl & start harassing them because the fish can't swim in an open area.I'd like to see you put effort on the injustices being done to people
@kdenmarkable "".I'd like to see you put effort on the injustices being done to people"" too bad for you, we're going to keep exposing the brutality done to animals at rodeos. Instead of wasting your time with rodeos, go put your efforts towards the injustices done to people.
@vickiln67 The sad thing is that these horses, like some race horses, don't get love in between their 'events'. Horses can injure themselves doing many things, yes. But in between the time that they are performing, these horses are ignored, pushed around, frightened and disrespected. Not to mention that they need to be made uncomfortable and frightened just..
@vickiln67 to do their 'event'! My horses love to be ridden. They get excited when they see a jump, they are happy to see me when I arrive at the barn. It's possible that they may get injured some day by accident, but at least I'll know that they were happy for every moment before that. And I will do everything possible to make them comfortable if they are injured. That's the difference.
it almost looks like his stifle locked while he was in mid-air, and then he couldn't get his foot right upon landing and came down on his ankle. I couldn't tell if it looked like he broke his leg or not--could have just been initial pain. I sure hope he was OK, and was retired from his life of hell to a little girl who feeds him peppermints. None of these horses deserve to fall into the hands of these incompetent "cowboys".. Cheyenne you are truly disgusting
@jupitersandi ""hope he was OK, and was retired from his life of hell to a little girl who feeds him peppermints."" Safe bet that horse went to slaughter, not a little girl with a loving home.
I just want to point out to the many people I see commenting, that SHARK isnt saying ALL rodeos are bad. They're emphasizing this one...the CFDR. And that horse was c-l-e-a-r-l-y lame. That was abuse to make him run like that. I've been with horses all my life and have never seen anything quite like the CFDR. It's sickening.
Shark i thankyou for sharing these videos with us.i barrel race but i have never seen this many injuries in a rodeo.actually in my years of competing and watching rodeos i have never seen a horse,calf,bull. hurt other then here.where i compete we have regualtionsthis rodeo should be shut down completley.or atleast need some new guidlines.or should try being an average rodeo. take out the cold heartedness of the colt races nd the wild" horse race.TY for sharing
I'm always rooting for the horse, not the rider, in the bucking competition. I'm hoping the horse throws the rider and then hurts him bad enough to NEVER again want to get on a bucking horse. Kill the "sport" by making it so that nobody wants to do anything so cruel and stupid out of fear for their own lives, at least, even if they never do develop any compassion for anyone but themselves.
@johnsoncm65, more and more draft horse blood is being used in the broncs. Why? They are slower, bigger, gentler. I couldn't believe the size of the broncs at the NFR. 16.2 hand monsters. Sure they have more power. They also move slower. I wish, just once, they'd use off the track TB's. Little bratty catty ones, with a strong sense of self-worth. Wouldn't need to use the flank at all! "Riders" would be flying everywhere.
In bull-riding, the threat of death is the main attraction.
That horse serverly injured his ankle. That could and was fatal. The terrifying thing was that they pulled him half way across the ring before taking him back. I like rodeos and all, but, the ones I go to do have this competition. God bless that horse.
Okay, listen...I barrel race in rodeos, but I don't abuse my horses...in fact, I spoil them! It doesn't matter if you ride in rodeo arenas or show jumping arenas; I've ridden in both competitively, and I've seen horses get hurt in both! Think about how many children were in the stands. I'm sure they took care of the horse once it was out of the arena, but they surely didn't want all those people seeing the poor animal. Horses get hurt, even out in the pasture, it's the way things go sometimes...
@brittneynicolesings ""but they surely didn't want all those people seeing the poor animal."" So you believe it's okay for children to watch animals being used like nothing but trash products in order for people to win prizes, but it's not okay for the children to see the consequences of those actions once it's injured for nothing but human entertainment?
@SHARKonlineorg Well...I agree it's not right for the children to see any of that; but it's not abuse, animals will get hurt every now and then. But would you want your children to watch a poor animal get shot in the head...? If so, you're surely a bad parent. And the animals are NOT being treated like trash products!!
I tell each and everyone of you people who support shark something. I invite as many of you that want to come to where i live and ill walk you through a day , a week, a month , or a year of the life of a rodeo animal. There are bulls that have there own barns that they can go in and out of whenever they want. Yes animals do get hurt in rodeo. ( very few) but they do. Just bc they are hurt dont mean they are put down ir killed. If you want to see cruel check the number if animals that peta has h
@jdm339 People can clearly see how rodeo treats the animals in our videos. Every animal that's harassed, injured or killed trumps your 'bulls have their own barn' nonsense.
SHARK Is A Bunch If BullShit ! Just Stop Telling People That It Is Animal Abuse Cause Ehtts NOT So Get A Fucking Life And If I Ever See You At Frontier Days SHARK Imma Tell You This Shit Too Yuhr Ugly Ass Face !
I heard the Royal Horse Show in Toronto had an 80% tickets sold, the rodeo night. I quit going to the Royal, when they started having a rodeo night.. In the same arena that so many great horsemen have ridden in, it just made me feel sick, to see broncs struggling against a flank strap. The standards of horsemanship just keep plummeting lower, thanks to this display of "how not to do it.."..
These rodeo announcers should be ashamed to do the sick crap that they do. Its rediculous, the horse has obviously injured his right hind leg.Yet u want to make jokes and go one about how high the horse was bucking.What a sorry cover up. Whats the point of having a livestock vet if all they are gonna do is euthenise the animals.I loved rodeos until know thank u SHARK for showing me the truth about this. There is a such thing called Karma and these sick SOB's are gonna find out first hand
Everyone notice that the horse STOPPED bucking when the flank strap was removed.....they only buck with a flank strap, these horses want nothing more than to NOT buck!!
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF Don't want to hear ANYBODY try to defend rodeo to me. Get a life and leave the poor animals alone. Thank you SHARK for exposing these sick losers. Did nobody in the audience express outrage! Why was there not a mass exodus from the arena, rodeo people are always saying how much they care about the animals, ya right.
@longtailrat well sed mate, they shud BAN rodeo forEVER!!! these poor horses that die durin these painful events makes my stomach turn where am so angry at seein it!!!
@SHARKonlineorg I take it that there is a deliberate policy for "contestants" to move into positions that will help to hide injuries that result from this animal abuse?
@MegaGayjesus They only started doing that past few years since they knew we were filming. As if no one in the stands saw the animal go down, or lay there before the cowards moved in for the cover-up.
@SHARKonlineorg I know you need to focus your cameras on the cruel animal abuse, but do I detect a lot of empty seats at the show? Do you have any figures that you can publish here showing any decline in Rodeo attendance? You are doing a very good service for animals world wide, because here in England, up until I saw your videos, I had no Idea such Rodeo cruelty went on!
@MegaGayjesus Plenty of empty seats are visible when our cameras pan. We let that emptiness, vast in some cases, speak for itself, along with news at times that rodeos are cancelling due to lack of interest, or some other financial excuse; but of course, our favorite cancellation notice is when local people speak up and keep abusive rodeos out of their community. We do appreciate your support and thank you for taking the time to post.
1:01 Funny how the rodeo wants you to see all their "entertainment" except right here when the idiots in yellow seem to be intentionally blocking view of any onlookers. I know they aren't checking to see if the poor horse is ok... if they cared, they wouldn't have CFD Rodeos.
@antipplthatstoprodeo , yeah, slaughter is always good. For the slaughter capital of the USA, and Slaughterhouse Sue Wallis. I'm sure she was drooling when she saw that horse injured. That horse hurt itself badly. "Spraining a stifle, or dislocating, or snapping", ALL are bad news.
But who cares, right? Plenty more where that horse came from:(
These cowboys add insult to injury by moving and pushing around an already injured horse. Any chance of the horse getting better goes up in smoke with every frightened step it takes! This is not entertainment..this is abuse!
@MrAddicted2facebook I was thinking after watching the video; I wonder if the Horse got "slapped around" after sitting down and then being led to the back there; I have seen these Rodeo Clowns slap and hit many horses!
I watched a Video once where the BLM pulled a mustang by his Mane and made the mustang all distraught !
I can't even explain how much I wish that one of those horses kicked one of the dumbass "cowboys" riding it right in the head. and I'm not a violent person but that would make me so happy for the poor animals to get revenge....
How fucking DARE they use the term "Horse Whisperer"?! Fucking SLIME. There is no curse in any language for this.... gaah, I can't even think of a word to describe it.
I wish people would stop attending rodeos. This is NOT entertainment! Poor horse. But they won't stop until people stop attending. Anyone who attends a rodeo is complicit in the animals' pain and suffering.
I see how quickly the three "cowboys" in yellow shirts blocked the view of the injured horse - Appropriately "yellow shirts" as they are all stooges and cowards. What a fake representation of what "real men" actually are. No decent person - man or woman would condone such needless risks to an animal. Thank you SHARK for exposing the truth yet again.
I know...lets take a perfectly healthy horse, put a bucking cinch on it then injure it for our entertainment!!!!! Disgusting, disgusting display of cruelty & lack of compassion for an animal in DISTRESS!
i hope you rodeo people are hearing this. you coward bastards trying to hide the damage you cause. professional rodeo cowards association!!! you better go back to school learn a new trade (if you can read) 'cause this will faze out!!!!!!! that's right evil bastards. good WILL PREVAIL
i seen numbers on my neighbor's bucking string horse's rumps. and i also seen these kind of numbers on the wild ones in blm's prisoners. what's the connection?
@greatbigbubby blm freeze brands on the neck. If you've seen brands on the rumps of blm captives, they're either strays that joined the herd, or deliberate turn outs.
@SHARKonlineorg wrote: blm freeze brands on the neck. If you've seen brands on the rumps of blm captives, they're either strays that joined the herd, or deliberate turn outs.
Comment: very interesting; so if the BLM freezebrand is on the neck; this is a captured Mustang (BLM) but if the freezebrand may be on the Rumps; these are estrays or delbierate turn outs...thanks for info !
ps by deliberate turnouts do you mean:? didn't quite undersrtand this; keep us updated on any BLM info!
@Wahpoose Deliberate turn outs means the animals owners just let loose, abandon, to fend for themselves. To keep more informed about the BLM, look up Saving America's Mustangs, Madeleine Pickens' work for the wild horses.
@SHARKonlineorg thank you for explaining what a "deliberate turnout is": I had seen the phrase before but did not understand; so deliberate turn out is not the same as a Stray running away; and certainly not the same as The BLM rounding up Wild Mustangs and Burros; I have been following Madleine; she is doing a great work !
and so are you Shark online ! you have some excellent vidoes and you monitor the rodeos beautifully...thanks!
Poor guy, they kept him at the canter/lope so you cant really see the lameness in three beat gate, as soon as the horse goes back to the trot he cant even bear weight on his hind end. It seems to me that bucking horses seem to hyperextend their stifle joint when they are made to kick out so high and violently. This needs to stop.
@GoGadgetHookerClean especially when they laze around in the off-season and aren't fit when they start jumping-imagine all that force on the limbs. no wonder they snap.
Who goes to these events anyways?! This is the worse of USA...but on the south rasisim is still present, so can you expalin anything to such narrow minded people about animal pain and rights?!
@bellakanin Since this is billed as such a big, famous rodeo, it does draw in tourists who think rodeo has something to do with real cowboys and the old west. They get so enamored of the phony Coca Cola cowboys in Wranglers, it blinds them to what the animals are enduring.
@bellakanin you're right about racism, i can't allow my disabled 21 yr old son get aquainted with my rich rodeo neighbors because i was warned they'd get drunk and hurt him because he is dark skinned. thank God i got the heads up. i don't care what color my child is-don't want drunk cowboys hurting him. he's a gentle soul.
@oobagooba100 alot of us that hate this are poor. you can really help by complaining to your state representatives;get their names and email online. comment to the president too, governer's etc.
They have so much to hide at all these rodeos that they have become very adroit at grouping around injured animals to block the sight from the public. Creeps, all.
sit booboo sit? WTF is wrong with that fucking announcer, he keeps down playing all the abuse and making fun of it, talk about cover up. Fuck you cheyenne!!
Another disgusting example of thugs pretending to be cowboys. Seems that due to some malfunction of their minds, terrorizing and injuring animals translate as manliness. Shame on the thugs for treating these animals like they were vermin - causing the injuries to this poor horse Wooble, and the 5 calves so far. And for killing CheckMate.
Giving up cola products was one of the best decisions I ever made...thank you SHARK, for exposing these "sports" for what they are...nothing but testaments to human depravity, cowardice, sadism, arrogance, and ignorance. If I had the power it ALL would be stopped immediately.
@1221solstice2012 you do have the power of your voice. get email to your state reps, complain to the president and governor. blast it to the newspapers too. people just don't know what's going on or they would not go to rodeo
please give me the name of the announcer. i think these horses laze around during the off season and aren't even fit. i admire the neighbor's bucking string living wild and happy in their huge pastures. that's a lot of weight on that foot wrong. hopefully a sprain.
@greatbigbubby, that was no sprain. That type of fall is pretty catastrophic to a horse's back end. Their stifles are NOT supposed to go that way. He's dislocated something, and then they turned him so hard, he fell down on that bad side. He was really really lane, as he left. He's dead. No way will they spend money to fix that. A very fit horse could easily injure himself bucking in play. This horse was terrified. Much worse.
I'm so glad that the Calgary Stampede isn't like this. The bull riders own most of the bulls that are there and the broncs, so if something happens to them, the owners take them to the vet.
.These people lie & say they love animals (while wearing chinese wal-mart "cowboy" hats, PAYING to watch animals tortured.
Knowing many will be killed. These are the same people that smile when borrowing neighbors tools that they never return. They vote for whoever promises to take from others and give it to them. These perverts (you can see their perversion here) don't stop here with their evil, it's also in their "homes".
@mrsparex I agree with you completely! >:( I've been watching this stuff ever since I saw the Horse Killed at Cheyenne Rodeo (Graphic) vid. Now I'm fighting them and refuse to drink any Coco-cola products.
I love the 'wow look how high he bucked in the air' yeah so he the animal is now clearly in pain and a horse whisperer !?!?!? Yeah right horse whispering is all about natural body language methods and none violent the polar opposite to rodeo. Poor animal most likely ending it's life for entertainment its sickening! Why the hell did everyone laugh when the horse collaspsed have i missed something is it funny when a injured animal can no longer stand these people are warped!
The horse clearly tries to relieve his hind fetlock joint. Of course we can only guess what happened with that horse, but since the joint is whether sprained or broken, and the simple fact that this horse became useless for rodeo, they probably put it to sleep.
@sketchyj She actually donated a portion to the Cloud Foundation, it's blood money. It's not HER foundation but was started by Ginger Kathrens who filmed Cloud shortly after he was born. They accept her money without a word about WHERE it came from. I was a supporter of them until they made one horse more important than another. ALL HORSES ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT, and should all be treated with kindness and love. So I no longer support them in any fashion.
@sohcsarewicked If injuries are repairable, unless the horse has 'proven bucking championship' lineage and can produce more progeny for this captive abuse, they won't spend the time and money to fix it. Stock contractors are like puppy millers, constantly overproducing stock as replacements.
@SHARKonlineorg IN canada a vet and the horse owner found a way to fix sprains and most breaks., shooting the horse for this horse lover was NOT an option.
@RascalCoyote it's amazing how vet medicine is advancing. there's 1 horse in america with a successful artificial limb, i think her name is molly and another in spain. but of course it's ezpensive and done with donations.
@SHARKonlineorg true, you should see the neighbors sad breeding stallion all alone in his yard. he knows what they do to his beautiful babies. he's not even allowed to live with his mares and interact normally with his family.
@sohcsarewicked no u dont ever have to put a horse down really unles everything is litterally sjattered and unrepairable my trainers horse broke his knea and a hole lot of other things and they repaired it and now he is still galloping throught the back feild with people on his back and the vet suggested it to as he was knoledgable enough to know that it is good for him to run to build muscle
@nacomagenic Bucking horses are nothing but expendable commodity to stock contractors. They'd lose money with surgery and rehab to simply put this horse back into rodeo. It's garbage to them.
@SHARKonlineorg i know they wont im just saying to that lady if they were caring and real horse people they would take the time and money to fix it especially if it wasnt a bronc *tortured horse*
I guess having compassion is out of the question because he talks about everything else but the horse being injured, As a host talking over a "technical difficulty". But is not this behavior completely opposite of what a REAL COWBOY stands for. REAL Cowboys LOVE their STEED! This is 1 big mind kontrol experiment!
Having grown up with a horse it pains me to imagine one of them experiencing this. It is so odd to me that people would waste what would probably be a gentle, loyal animal and instead put it through fear and pain. Horses are one of man's best friends. They are beautiful, brave, and full of personality every one of them. I know that any injury to the legs, pelvis or back of a horse is potentially fatal. This beautiful animal who could have given so much to a lucky person, but will likely die now.
my horse could do that out in his pasture!! i have a horse with a broken front leg from finding a wood chuck whole out back in the woods!!

My heart broke for this poor horse. For those who say that accidents happen in any sport, true, but apart from the fact that this horse was not in this sport voluntarily, generally when an athlete (equine or human) is injured, there is an immediate caring response from both fellow competitors and spectators. Here there was none. Imagine a human athlete collapsing to the floor in pain, unable to stand, and the game continuing, not a word mentioned...horrid indifference to the suffering of others.

its a clever trick those pick up riders use when horses are injured. They prey off that herd mentality horses have, so no matter if it hurts the horse will run and follow other horses. Also, Horses can lope or canter on three legs because its a three beated gait. But with the walk, gallop and trot, every foot is holding it weight at some point. Thats why he sat down on his hanches because he couldn't support his own weight was it was properly distributed.

@vickiln67 The sad thing is that these horses, like some race horses, don't get love in between their 'events'. Horses can injure themselves doing many things, yes. But in between the time that they are performing, these horses are ignored, pushed around, frightened and disrespected. Not to mention that they need to be made uncomfortable and frightened just..
pittielove 1 month ago
@vickiln67 to do their 'event'! My horses love to be ridden. They get excited when they see a jump, they are happy to see me when I arrive at the barn. It's possible that they may get injured some day by accident, but at least I'll know that they were happy for every moment before that. And I will do everything possible to make them comfortable if they are injured. That's the difference.

it almost looks like his stifle locked while he was in mid-air, and then he couldn't get his foot right upon landing and came down on his ankle. I couldn't tell if it looked like he broke his leg or not--could have just been initial pain. I sure hope he was OK, and was retired from his life of hell to a little girl who feeds him peppermints.

I'm always rooting for the horse, not the rider, in the bucking competition. I'm hoping the horse throws the rider and then hurts him bad enough to NEVER again want to get on a bucking horse. Kill the "sport" by making it so that nobody wants to do anything so cruel and stupid out of fear for their own lives, at least, even if they never do develop any compassion for anyone but themselves.

@johnsoncm65, more and more draft horse blood is being used in the broncs. Why? They are slower, bigger, gentler. I couldn't believe the size of the broncs at the NFR. 16.2 hand monsters. Sure they have more power. They also move slower. I wish, just once, they'd use off the track TB's. Little bratty catty ones, with a strong sense of self-worth. Wouldn't need to use the flank at all! "Riders" would be flying everywhere.
In bull-riding, the threat of death is the main attraction.

Okay, listen...I barrel race in rodeos, but I don't abuse my horses...in fact, I spoil them! It doesn't matter if you ride in rodeo arenas or show jumping arenas; I've ridden in both competitively, and I've seen horses get hurt in both! Think about how many children were in the stands. I'm sure they took care of the horse once it was out of the arena, but they surely didn't want all those people seeing the poor animal. Horses get hurt, even out in the pasture, it's the way things go sometimes...

greatbigbubby 7 months ago
@greatbigbubby, that was no sprain. That type of fall is pretty catastrophic to a horse's back end. Their stifles are NOT supposed to go that way. He's dislocated something, and then they turned him so hard, he fell down on that bad side. He was really really lane, as he left. He's dead. No way will they spend money to fix that. A very fit horse could easily injure himself bucking in play. This horse was terrified. Much worse.
