English horses seem a lot tougher than American horses. Here in America, when a horse goes down it normally has broken something, when something goes wrong in England, the horse normally seems fine.

Poor horse although that horse is like "aahhh (running) I can't see (break fence) I can't freakin see!! (Lands in water) I can't see and now I'm wet, fml"

@MrConnolly25 Yes, and I agree with you, but the ranch where i used to ride would assign each child to a horse, and I was assigned to ride that one. I find that they shouldn't have even bought that horse, knowing that children would ride it. I understand what you are saying about the horse haven. I just find that people should treat their horses nicer, and like you said, they fail or lack the skills

[MrConnolly25]

@svenini17 Well there you go then clearly racehorses are very different to your ordinary horse you clearly should have not been near it as a 12yr old maybe if you looked closer to home ie your parents and asked why they allowed you with such inexperience to be near a former racehorse.Trainers,Jockeys are not the people you should point fingers at,many people try to create a 'horse haven' and fail as they either cant actually afford it or lack actual skills required to look after horses

[svenini17]

@MrConnolly25 I was 12. It's harder to handle a big horse at that age, especially one that will sprint of at any moment. And i don't ride horses anymore. I have ridden them in almost 10 years. I don't feel the need either, because most of the horses here aren't well, and they all look beat. I hate seeing horses look like crap, and malnurished and ungroomed. And we have a lot of that where I come from

[MrConnolly25]

@svenini17 you still ride them and get pleasure from doing so,so you yourself are contradicting your own statement.Racehorses are bred to race they will race around with or without a jockey and whilst you condem racing and rodeo you fail to mention eventing or dressage horses WHY?if you are not skilled enough to be around a former racehorse you would'nt be the 1st or the last how do you know you did'nt spook or unsettle the horse.its unfortunate to be hurt by an animal but it happens

[svenini17]

@MrConnolly25 Let me tell you something. I have to walk around with a scar on my face because of what other people did to that horse. The hypocrite you mentioned are those idiots that pull reins to tight, and beat them with whips and kick them with those stupid spikes.

[MrConnolly25]

@svenini17 Races horses are completely different to wild horses or ponies if you think its cruel and they should be free because of its 'soul' why the fuck do you ride them? or you gonna tell us the accident was a kick lol? Hypocrites like you should actually think before writing or spouting shit.

[MrConnolly25]

@Beatlegirl4eva That will be because American horses are given drugs (steroid type) over here thats not allowed apart from extreme cases.

@Beatlegirl4eva I bet american horses wear helmets and shoulder pads too
