 Re: Derby
I had to chase down my mom's horse after he escaped from his stall tonight! He's an escape artist! We have had 1 or 2 racehorses at our farm. My sister trains/ run our family's farm with 20 horses. They are absolutely amazing to watch out in the field - our mare, Mattie, just had our first baby 3 weeks ago!
It's heartbraking when they have to be put down right on the spot, but sadly, like Champ said, you basically have to. The doctor that spoke right after it happened on air tried to explain how painful the injury was to the horse and that it was for the best, but still, it is sad. Anyone hear how the jockey is doing? I know that riders/horses form quite a bond while training, not to mention, I heard he was thrown from the horse pretty far. |
