Horse Injury Mesquite Rodeo August 10 2007

[PunkRoachGD]

this type of injury could happen to ANY horse even just running around in the pasture

[twohitdead]

Rodeo people treat there horses awful. I am a racehorse trainer and I was shocked at the rotten care the rodeo horses recieved when the rodeo came to town

[Manaca113]

My goodness...so much negativity from the horse experts. You put down cowboys for riding horses the way they do but you never stop to look at what the sporting world does with them. Eventing, Hunter Jumpers, Steeple Chase, Horse Racing are far worse. My friend Jesus Jauregui who is featured in the documentary movie called Wild Horses, Wild Ride is a cowboy. I would much rather leave my horses in his care that GinnyGens. Horse Freak is clueless and probably has no idea what a pulled stifle is.

[ginnysgems]

This truly is about the worst I've seen. Not only did they allow this horse to be injured but they were TOTALLY ill equipped to handle such a large animal injury. This is pathetic. Can't these "cowboys" find something better to do to occupy their time?? I find all of these shit irrelevant and totally uncalled for. There truly is no place for bronc riding of any kind anymore, it's a totally stupid and useless event.

[StormyNola]

Abuse? Seriously? If that's the case, why were so many there at it's aid? A horse can pull their stifle muscle in other sports, not just rodeo. It happens in all equine events. The vast majority of stock contractors don't 'abuse' their animals, as that would affect their business. The horse's are bred to buck, and they are not 'forced' too. Even without the flank strap, many would still buck.  If people want to end abuse, quit blaming without knowing the facts and go after those that do.

[iiHorseFreak]

Oh My Gosh!! Thats abuse!! and Its sad!! We all know they took that horse back there and put it down!! What Asses!! I hate that!! Poor thing :(

[StormyNola]

@iiHorseFreak You don't have to put a horse down for a pulled stifle. It can be healed to a full recovery with stall rest. And if they are such 'asses' then explain why so many were there to keep the horse down, so that it wouldn't reinjure itself?

[iiHorseFreak]

@StormyNola - _ - Yes, But 56% of animals injured at rodeos are put down.. dont beleive me. Watch sharks videos. Proven. There asses cause that horse should be out there doing that! the horse should be out in pasture with some little girl grooming its mane out while it munches grass.. jeez people..

[StormyNola]

@iiHorseFreak Alright. So I guess horses shouldn't be eventing or racing either correct? SHARK is incorrect on that percentage (and most of the rodeo 'cruelty' they post). Google it and see what you find out. That is entirely incorrect. If you would like, I can gladly find some sources that prove otherwise. Again, how are they asses for trying to keep the horse from injuring himself further?

[iiHorseFreak]

@StormyNola ...No, Bucking straps are unnatural peices of equipment. I dont like horse racing either and im alowed to have an opinion. some rodeo sports are cruel, such as Roping and bronc riding. I never said they were asses for trying to keep the horse down.. there asses for making that horse to that, Its there fault it got hurt. and That horse was obvioisly not having a good time, it was petrified!! I have my opinion. Nothing you can say can change my MIND!..

[StormyNola]

@iiHorseFreak If a bucking strap is unnatural, how is a saddle now? Or a bridle? If you would like to debate on the facts, please do so correctly. The inside is lined with sheepskin or neoprene. Rodeo rules specify the flank strap must be lined with enough sheepskin to cover the belly of the horse and both flanks, and that no sharp or cutting edges of any kind be present. These rules are consistent with what animal behaviorists have taught us. A frightened horse will run, rather than buck.

[StormyNola]

@iiHorseFreak Straight from PRCA, the largest rodeo association existing: The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association formed guidelines for proper and humane treatment of livestock in 1947, a full 7 years before the founding of the Humane Society of the United States.

In a 1994 survey conducted by on-site independent veterinarians at 28 sanctioned rodeos involving 33,991 animal runs, the injury rate was documented at .00047 percent - which translates to less than five-hundredths of one percent.

[iiHorseFreak]

@StormyNola Yea.. and people havent lied before. I told you nothing you could type will change my views on the subject. get over it.. I call it abuse.., you call it sport. Whatever, i know hundreds of people who agree with me.

[StormyNola]

@iiHorseFreak I'm not trying to change your views. I'm just stating the facts. There is plenty of information on animal welfare that is true on the PRCA website, though I won't go into detail here.

[25mtcowboy]

@iiHorseFreak Accidents happen, I was working with a colt in my arena trying to get him started to cut. Neighbor's dog decided to come over, spooked the horse. Guess what? Same thing happened as in the video, except I ended up with a busted knee and ankle. The vet advised me that it would be best to put the horse down. I didn't want to, but I did.

[JerJoKno]

Ban Rodeo, start human rodeo! Those animals are innocent, endangerous...plenty human in america, use them!

[jenn9794]

dumbshits i hate this kind of rodeos making horses do that

[ghostridertn]

It's a horse gurney!

[jburrows2009]

i have never seen a buckin horse break its back before. thats crazy, but how often do you see something like this happen

[twilight456]

they love these horses like they love their families??? poor families!!!

[pika9chu2]

LoL i love how the announcer said that those rodeos are helping the horse not hurt itself. The horse would of never hurt itself if it wasnt force into this gay rodeo thing! Pathetic and the audience applauses for the rodeo for keeping the horse safe. Pathetic!, Pathetic!, Pathetic! ONE DOWN, SEVERAL MORE HORSES TO GO!!

[kirjuxa8]

Loxi vi so svoim rodeo

[Kaifyre50]

Call it what you will . . . but rodeo is not a "sport". I haven't been to a rodeo in years, and will never attend another. Let others be blinded and shammed by rodeo's "excitement" and "entertainment". I have seen the truth.

Down with rodeo!

[swiftnshift]

@Kaifyre50 If you say down with rodeo, than you should also say down with ranching, because this is what happens.

[Kaifyre50]

I used to love watching the bucking horses and bulls. I thought that the sport was exciting and went to every rodeo I could find the time for. I was there for several animal injuries, but the announcer always claimed that "vet care is of utmost importance" and "will be taken care of immediately". Hah! I watched a steer at my last rodeo break its back, get dragged to a muddy pen filled with shit, and lay there for over an hour waiting for "vet care" before it finally died.

[mexicofan09]

Just to let yall know i work at this place and the owners of this place have real strick rules of how to treat the animals all these animals at this rodeo are never mistreated and if injured theres a animal hospital right next door to the rodeo i dont know what rodeos you people have been to but we take care of our animals

[karmelova]

; (

it's stupid rodeo and people ;(

i'm from poland /

[feathers666]

I could write paragraphs about the rampant stupidity and massive lack of common sense rodeo personnel possess. But critically that is why they are where they are.

You cant really blame the inherently stupid with the will to win fifty/hundred dollars for getting up on a frightened, defensive horse or bull. Not when the real blame resides with the utter foul corruption that lies within the organizers and headquarters of the Rodeo itself. Allegedly!

[MsCrazyhorselady]

poor horse

[feathers666]

Rodeo insults most peoples intelligence. It will never state an animal has been killed or injured, insisting everything is fine despite a clearly lifeless animal being sledded out, utter crap spewed when an incident occurs. How thoughtful and wonderful the hands are at attending to fallen stock or I heard a joke the other day about etc.

The worst thing those attending buy it. That brown and white calf dragged out with a shattered hock makes a reappearance as a healthy brown, they can't tell.

[TTU63]

You people are idiots. Ever heard of these things called accidents!!? You have a better chance of being in a car wreck than these animals do getting hurt. Shit happens, accidents happen...get over it. You people who comment on here never know what you're talking about. Rodeo is not cruel or abusive, keeping your dog on a leash or in a tiny yard is more cruel. Our animals have good lives and are well taken cares of. Long live cowboys and rodeo.

[bpGem1993]

This makes me fucking sick.

[iainstake]

Wot of load of thick twats...they actually think there taking care of it.....dumb twats

[whichypoohs]

Of course this is ABUSE; this poor creature broke its back - limp tail, no motion in her rear end.

RODEO should been seen for what it is = CRUEL.

[mimzsun]

A good bucking horse is worth money..been to a rodeo a time or two...and I have petted the bucking horses..they are not "terrified" of people..the cowboys and the stock people were out checking them over several days before the rodeo started..some things that happen I don't agree with..but would you rather see that horse in a rodeo or a slaughter house?? There are just way to many unwanted horses out there..do something about that before you stop rodeo's..this is just one thing..

[miloismyhorse]

In the video it says how much these cowboys love and care for their horses...right. What a show the announcer put on. I've been behind the scenes of the rodeo before the show, and these bucking horses are TERRIFIED of people. Most have spur and flank strap wounds and scars on their sides and are ungroomed. Care and love? right.

[AphroditeAllure]

I know these horses are been treated with such respect and love being hog tied. ugh I hate people.

[kyleleekowgirl]

i cant see any abuse right here. the horse got hurt, and this just shows how much they care, they go out and try to help it.

[xxxbustedsoulxxx]

the horse pulled a hind leg muscle. thats why the animal went down in the first place. poor animal

[rockhoppin]

i have have been around horses all my life and im aware that they could get seriously injured during training.. they could get injured out in the field.. even in their stables but there is no justification for deliberalty subjecting rodeo animals to this level of suffering just because some people consider it entertainment..

why do you think this is acceptable to treat animals this way just because it's the USA?..

the more people say i cant do something the more determined it makes me!..

[rockhoppin]

here in the UK we call someone a 'cowboy' if they are considered to be reckless.. irresponsible.. deceitful.. inconsiderate a bit of a joke to their trade..

you guys certainty are a joke to your trade.. and your a joke to the human race!.. you are disgusting.. you are evil..

drop the 'boy' act and try dropping your balls instead.. start acting like responsible men.. walk away from this cruelty.. im certainly not impressed by this mess you call a sport.. im certainly not entertained.

[zoeykatie]

yeah well this is the USA i love animals but what can you do to stop it NOTHING i have to of my own horses i love them theyre my family, and i will do anything to protect them!!! but they could get seriously injured by simple training!! i know its hard to watch this but this is the USA not the UK!!! i feel for the animals that get injured in the rodeos but once again i say theres really not that much you can do about it

[OriginalChosen1]

Retarded horse!

[horseluva1000]

yup... injurys...thats the best word in the world to discribe rodeos!!!!

[mindxhowxuxgo]

them people dont give a shit about horses. rodeo is cruel and im totaly against it. if they loved them so much then why would they put the animal through the stress of it in the first place. the matey on the speakers is not fooling me atall. they most proberly shot that horse when it was taken out the arena. PRICKS!

[cessnaespitia]

I'm against of this rodeo thing too. My church is having a rodeo event in a couple weeks. Its a shame for me that they are going to do this. Its a cruel sport. In fact i dont they should consider rodeo a sport. just a game in which they like to abuse animals. I'm not even attending to the rodeo event.

[RBBROPER]

How many of you watch horse racing jumping or any thing else that involves horses they get injured in anything they are used for it happens a buddy of mine was out riding pastures checking fences and cattle his horse went down and broke his leg at a walk horses are accidents waiting to happen in anything they are used for

[rockhoppin]

sport related accidents & injuries do happen.. it is heartbreaking when it does.. but the key word here being ACCIDENT.. rodeo injuries are 'DELIBERATE'

most horse related sports have measures in place to reduce the risk of injury to the horses.. rodeo doesn't

horses world wide have to pass a strict vet check before they can take part in the event.. not at a rodeo

horses are very rarely treated by a vet in the ring at a rodeo.. they are hurried out of the way againt their best intrests

[RBBROPER]

These injuries are in no way deliberate they are accidents and no the animals are not vet checked before they are bucked but I can promise you the stock contracter looks them over well and he or she knows the animals better than anybody just like you know when your dog aint feeling well and before you say anything there are women stock contracts I know of 2

[feathers666]

If only all rodeos were as consistant as you say. There is a lot of footage online that shows they aren't treated as well as you say, especially after an injury. There's at least one with a young steer left to die in a pen after sustaining a spinal injury in the arena, vet checked it in the ring and sent it on it's way. The broken legged horses driven out surrounded by others etc. The waffle by the commentator insisting the animals will be alright then bullshitting about something else.

[feathers666]

Deluding the gullible that it's such a fantastic sport and nothing goes wrong.

At least they could destroy the fatally injured after taking them out of squeamish public view but a lot of the time they won't even do that. And them so fond of guns and all! That's what is wrong. Again it all boils down to money and the fact 'I'm alright Jack, so fuck you'.

[RBBROPER]

Most videos against Rodeo are fabricated whose to say the steer wasnt taken care of after it was put in that pen thats what the people who made the video want you to think honestly were you there to see it with your own eyes

[feathers666]

The fact it was filmed for many minutes alternatively lying flat then sitting up until it presumably bled internally or leaked spinal fluid into it's system/both then lay spasming until death throes passed. After a bit someone came in looked then threw a tarp over it.

I recall it was a lady vet who strolled up to look in the arena before strolling back to where she was. No 'bring him out and I'll inject/shoot him', I think she was enjoying the show too much.

Alls fine. If you don't see it.

[RBBROPER]

send me that link Id like to see it or does it really exsist

[feathers666]

@RBBROPER

But thanks for taking the time to question me. I've posted footage that shows its not all happy clappy for the animals involved. If you would care to delve a little yourself before, during and after they are not exactly having a party. It's your choice if you want to believe or not. But when someones emphasising and insisting it's alllllll okay, we're in control, I do feel a bit of questioning is needed.

[feathers666]

Another where a distressed horse goes down in the gate and is hit repeatedly to try and get it to rise instead of dong the thing that requires one brain cell and open the gate to enable the horse get its legs out and get up.

[feathers666]

@RBBROPER

From the above footage. "'They love these horses like they love their family". Oh give me a bucket. It's meat on the hoof if it's not a broken cow-pony. At least British and Irish racehorses are held where they are if they break a leg during racing. And aware people do know the screens put up are not indicating that the horse is having a private party. Which is possibly a subject Mr commentator would bring up. And be believed.

[feathers666]

If you look up SHARK rodeo here you will find many videos showing the animal cruelty within. There is simply too much footage to have the time to dig up the calf I mentioned. Perhaps you will stumble upon it yourself if you care to take a look through. But most certainly I will post it up if I see it again.

[feathers666]

I do not subscribe to all of SHARKs opinions as they occasionally be bias. However you cannot deny the footage is there and very real. The only time injured animals are attended is when the audience is there, otherwise they are treated brutally in the arena and left unattended when suffering serious injuries.

[horseygalyeha]

fuckin bastards they should all be locked up for this it is DANGEROUS and Y clap at a injured horse you stupid twats of the crowd: sorry if anyone watching was in the crowd.

[dressagequeenbee]

This shows why rodeos should be shut down for cruelty. They force these animals to do things they dont wanna do and whip them and spur them. These people need to be taken somehwere and have some sense beaten into them. Killing an animal in such a way is just disgusting and these low lifes need to learn a lesson.

[23751]

Bastards, can't imagine that these people stupidly believe everything they hear (Well they have bush as president...enough said.).....they surely dont believe the bullshit this guy is giving them as a horse is brutalised saying its all about love of their horse...they must be REALLY stupid. Shame on the coporate sponsors of these barbaric events.

[Karyn64]

Peta claims they *love* animals ut have had no problem murdering over 14,000 of them.

I highly doubt anywhere near that number has died at rodeos in the time Peta has gone on it's killing spree.

[feathers666]

Agreed. Though there is quite a lot of the usual waffle spouted by commentators like this, P.E.T.A. has spent most donations on promoting themselves to the detriment of housing and rehabilitating animals. As per their stance most of the animals donated in faith to them are euthanised regardless of the owners wishes. A slaughter usually carried out in the background by non-licenced persons. Something they would certainly be ranting about if a slaughterhouse killed an animal in the same vein.

[HisGirl4311]

This is the most disgusting thing i have ever seen in my whole 18 yrs of living. i ride and compete at my high school's rodeo and never ever seen anything remotely like this. who ever broadcasted this onto the internet IS A SICK SICK FUCK. AND I WOULD LIKE TO CALF ROPE THEM AND PULL THEM BEHIND A TRACTOR WITH ROPES ON A HURT HIP. YOU SICK HUMAN. GOSH WHAT A ASSHOLE.

[jessthark]

they dont care and that announcer is not only annoing but he allso needs to shut the fuck up.

[Matrixrats]

they only care for it in public.. but I bet behind the scenes they didn't care..i've seen shit like this happen in person the horse is cared for until it leaves the public eyes..

[shell10111]

rodeo people care? yh ok they did help this horse which is nice to see but theres also been secret footage of others who are treated unforgivibly it makes me sick to think that anyone could go and watch this stuff any ways its quite disturbing reli ! watching the bucking horse? and shit like that SICKOS!

[theRedneckLady]

you go cowgireljess

these ppl know how to treat a horse and i knew the owner of the Mesquite Rodeo he would KILL someone for even thinking about hurting one of the rodeo animals.

[cowgirljess718]

oh ya just terrible, isn't it, the way everybody is trying to help the horse. geez why can't us rodeo people stop abusing horses? (lmao this is just proof that rodeo people care!)

[villesweetheart]

i fell bad for that poor horse

[villesweetheart]

poor horse but at least they helped him

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

they helped him but if this horse hadn't had a bucking strap over his flank he wouldn't of hyper extended his back legs so much(trying to free himself from the strap that is irritating his sensitive flank and underbelly) and wouldn't of injured himself at all. No horse bucks naturally like that for a reason, because no horse wants to risk falling over and injuring himself. Sadly we all know without spurs, flank strap among other methods used by rodeo, that horse never would of bucked that high.

[rodeogirl05]

I agree PETA people are dumb. We have been fighting with ya'll for years and guess what? We are still going strong. So quit complaining because nothing you do or say is going to make us quit our lives.

[mocowboy68]

all you peta cocksuckers need to do all of us a favor...KILL YOUR DAMN SELVES..THE BULL FIGHTER WASNT AIMING at the horse. & the pickup amn was getting the hell outta the why so the horse could get up.

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

As well, everyone has seen jumping horses take way worse looking falls on course and they usually get back up with nothing then a little soreness. If the horse wasn't really injured why didnt they just let him get back up.

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

I think its a big deal that he pulled his stifle 'joint' when being forced to buck. its an unneccessary injury.

[91Dallas]

@GoGadgetHookerClean He's not bein' forced to buck, when horses aren't broke yet they buck naturally. The flank strap enhances the natural bucking motion anyways.

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

@91Dallas a horses natural instinct is to run when its life is threatened. its called a flight instinct. A horse will buck or rear when it cant go forward, something the bucking strap ensures. Sure horses will buck, fart, rear when turned out. But most horses will not naturally buck to the extremes seen in rodeo because despite popular rodeo belief, horses are not stupid and would not want to injure itself so a 'cowboy' can earn points.

[bridlelessgirl]

@GoGadgetHookerClean he is not forced to buck you stupid idiot..you dont raise bucking horses so stfu

[Jailbirdx]

There are two options here as to what happened.

A) Horse just slipped and its hind legs fell under itself. It could happen to a running horse, it could happen to a playing horse, not the rodeo's fault.

B) Horse landed wrong and snapped his legs backwards. It could happen to a playing horse, it could happen to a horse that's just bucking to be a brat. It's not the rodeo's fault.

I'm not a fan of the rodeo, but if you stop and actually think before making assumptions, you'll realize things.

[xAMBERxXxLEAHx]

I used to rodeo (barrel racing/pole bending) and I occasionally saw dead, injured horses in the back of the arena before we went home. Some were already dead, I assume that they had a veterinarian there to put them down humanely. It really saddens me to know people can be cruel.. I didn't know any better back then.. Now I do.

[ohmygaah]

poor horse :'( why ? WHY !

[Witchypoohs]

This poor horse has obviously either broken his/her back or gravely injured it. It would have been far kinder to have dimmed the lights GAGGED THAT AWFUL COMMENTATOR and put the horse to sleep. Rodeos are cruel. As for "ever118"; your aggression is shameful as is your love of this barbaric sport, but then your aggressive behaviour goes hand-in-hand with this sport doesn't it! For shame on you & all who support these events and for shame on the USA for it's abuse of The Horse.

[kelliefan1017]

it did not break its back. like they said it probably pulled its stifle muscle. not a big deal.

[milliesos]

it broke its legs or somthin not its fucking stiffle muscles

[kelliefan1017]

it did not fucking break its legs. god you must be a city slicker.

[milliesos]

and what the fuck do you no you dont even own a horse

if you look at the second buck after the nob head fell of you can see its legs snap back words i dont no how much you no about horses but very little i am gessing but no horses legs can do that with out breacking go look at a horse and you will see they have like shoulders on the top of the legs by there bellys b4 there tails fucking hell man you aint got a fucking clue

[kelliefan1017]

ok for one thing if i didnt know anything about horses then i would not be breeding them. oh and do you even own a horse. i have been riding horses since i was 2.and i know what i seen.and the horse did not break its legs.

[milliesos]

i have had horses my hole life nearly 19yrs yes i do have horses i do dressage back and hel pout on a stud farm since i was 8 the horses in rodeo r misstreted no matter what you say love you must be blind this horse did breack its legs what else has it done

[RBBROPER]

I have a question milliesos: have you ever seen a horse pull a stifle? I have a horse that did when I was warming him up at a lope and he did the exact same thing as this horse did his damn leg aint broke it took mine 45 mins to stand back up and 30 before I could get him to walk off I was at a rodeo and a girls horse pulled his we thought by the way his leg popd it was broke but it was just his stifle we used a sled this video just goes to show just how much cowboys care about their horses so

[RBBROPER]

your just a fuckin idiot that needs to be in a mental hospital

[milliesos]

a mental hospital yer righ that just shows how childish you reay ar do you even have a horse

[kelliefan1017]

RBBROPER is right. Because if you cant even tell if a horse pulled its stifle or broke its leg, you need help.

[milliesos]

[tulatulakaroo]

kelliefan . The horse had a buck strap on sweetie !!And before you say there not painful to the horse Ill stop you because they are very painful

[oXSoLastSummerXo]

Ok, first off, that announcer should have shut up a LONG time ago.

im not against or for rodeos, i barrel race, but this is pretty sad.

[JAYandASHLEIGH]

that horse broke its back, because he mis stepped when he was bucking. he was in alot of pain and he was scared thats why he was thrashing around, rodeo is bullshit. i barrel race.....i refuse to go to rodeos!

[Giusep00]

I don't really understand what happended...

[69kyla69]

moving her with great percausion my ass,

[Manaca113]

How would you have done it? I await your response.

[cuff1957]

@Manaca113 come on folks put your hands together for these cowboys,we want to take your mind of the horse being dragged off like a piece of garbage never to be seen again shut the fuck up douchebag,listen to the announcer in the back ground he could talk a pitbull off a pork chop.

[TheBestDamnThing94]

what mutherfuckers IM FUCKIN RACIST AGAINST AMERICANS THAT SUPPORT RODEO CUZ THIS WUDNT HAVE HAPPEND IF THERE WUZ NO FUCKIN RODEO U STUPID AMERICAN BITCH ASS FUCKFACES THE ANOUNCER IS FUCKIN PISSING ME OFF LIKE HELL GOD SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHILLPILL!!!!!!!!!

[ever118]

dude shut the fuck up u annoy me and deserve to be shot if u dont like rodeo dont watch the videos shit face...u deserve to be shot in the face several times for being such an annoying little bitch

[psycosxy]

straight up...rodeo are madd gay

[theycallmeduff]

this is gay u have to know what talking about to be saying anything u just take the bad pictures

[GoGadgetHookerClean]

I think not putting a bucking strap on him in the first place would of been the wisest decision if they truly cared for this horse. The aunouncer pisses me off because yeah the cowboys are right in there, trying to help him, but it was that rodeos actions that got that horse injured. its stupid, what a waste.

[orthodoxusa]

Shark is a complete idiot!  These are valued animals and cared for.

[royalsgem]

I'm a veterinarion and i can see for myself the horse is going to be alright. Not that I condon rodeo I've seen alot of injuries where some had to be put to sleep, and others took time too heal. And I can see for myself the horse was not put to sleep. SHARK if you don't know what your talking about mabey you keep quiet. I could see the horse just pulled the tendons and mucles.

[RanchHand05]

Hey if you really know what your talking about, then you would tell the truth about that horse. Did you once see the horse kick in its back legs once it hit the arena floor?

[bradbaxter7]

that is true. the same thing hapened to a horse a couple of nights ago at the NFR. they even had to carry it out on a stretcher and they turned it out in the arena the next night and it ran around like nothing was wrong. i am not a vet but it may not be as bad as it looked.

SHARK is a fanatical animal rights organization so all you would believe is the worst case scenario so youjust look forward toall the answers you want. You will only believe what you want.

Say what you will about SHARK but everybody can see the video. It's not like someone made it up with CGI. I doubt very much that horse is alive today.

Bucking horses do not become *ranch horses*. That's why it was on a bucking string to begin with. If it was a stifle injury the horse will probobly be fine.

[Manaca113]

No. I did survive but will never b e used for this again.

[alyssaloveanselmi494]

is he better now?!

[Manaca113]

Yes

The horse survived and was retired from the circuit. He will probably become a ranch forse now.

[SHARKonlineorg]

Manaca113: The horse survived? I don't think so. Where is he now? What was his injury?  Looks like he might have busted one or both rear legs, and that would mean almost certain death.

I look forward to answers.
