This inhumane treatment of horses must be stopped.
The death of these horses is a sad way to promote rodeo.
The Calgary Stampede must take control over what they are condoning.
Yes, Canada it’s time to stop this killing of our loved horses.

Another example of deaths while competing. When a horse is killed, it’s usually during a competition. Rarely do you hear about a horse death when he and his rider is just having fun together on the trails or hanging out.

That is so sad, I did read about it on the internet. I feel sorry for all the horses and anyone who witnessed it.

I just watched the video. Oh my goodness, it looks like so much fun! I do this with single horses but I would love to try it with a team. I’m not sure about being so close to other drivers though. That’s where the danger seems to be coming in.

Through history horses have been right beside a human pulling wagons serving as a vehicle of transportation and as time progresses people have forgotten just that they are animals and YES I love them if the owners want to take the chance of them getting injured and killed it is THEIR decision I am so tired of groups coming in and telling others how and what to do with their animals. It is a sad situation and I am sure the owners wish it could have been preventes but what I got from the article is it wasn’t something that could of been prevented.

That is so sad. Perhaps, the race should be a time event, where each team leaves at different times.
