  • also 4 all u weirdos that think stud chains r cruel,they r not.4 example if a stud did not have a chain on and a mare wuz nearby........u don't wanna know.

  • actually that's a really good thing. if horses are foaming, or building up spit in their mouth that means they are very accepting and comfortable with the bit that is in their mouth. When there is no bit and they lick and chew alot it means they are very relaxed, happy, and trusting of the people they are with. It's basic horse language. If there is no foam or spit that usually means they are grinding on the bit and biting down which means it's uncomfortable and they dislike it.

  • @nicoleloveschief well unless your horse had rabies or something? Besides, Afleet Alex is a major breeding stallion, and is worth a lot of money, so they would do something if he needed medical attention...

  • @meroko15701 Giacomo is still alive..... Hes healthy and happy as a breeding stallion now....

  • I love this horse, Preakness 2005 was just amazing! Time for Hollywood to make a movie about who I think is the greatest horse ever. Thanks for posting this video.

  • He had something most others don't. Should have been the TC winner. He was more than enough horse.

  • Giacomo is not dead he is retired at Adena Springs.

  • That's sad. :(

  • He broke his back ankle...at least I believe so. I know he fractured something, but the injury kept getting worse to the point that they had to put Giacomo down ):

  • Love you Afleet Alex! You weren't the greatest of all, but you will always be my favorite!

  • What happened to Giamoco?

  • God Bless Afleet Alex :) I remember him~ I'm so glad he's well and retired, and didn't meet such a sad fate that Giacomo had to~
