Horse racing in itself is already highly abusive and dangerous. Whoever had the stupid idea to put obstacles on the course, needs to rot in hell. Horses already die on racetracks enough as it is, no need to make it even more dangerous by adding freaking jumps!
Taylor Sprenger The horses love to run. These horses love their jobs like almost every horse in the world, horses don't like their job when they have someone toxic in the job just like humans. But they are almost never drugged and treated really well, and when they are miss treated the people get into extreme trouble. Jockeys build a relationship with the horses they ride. Whipping a horse don't hurt them just depends on how hard you do it, but no matter how hard these horses don't feel the pain cause if their adrenaline. These horses love their jobs, ik this first hand personally, and I am also training to be one. These horses are treated better then most horses actually better then your horses and the everyday horse. These horse are not drugged they were only drugged way way way back in the day that is done and over with, and when someone is caught they get put in prison just like any abuse with these horse. Like I said I personally know all of this, my are facts, not uneducated guesses like yours. 😂😂
I honestly hate horse and dog races. The ONLY time I have respect for these people, and the jockey, is when they show full respect to their horse and/or dogs, and give all the love they can give! Not forgetting to mention the animals NOT being pushed harder and punished for NOT winning. That is where I will respect the owners, breeders, and jockey.
What a rider who weights 50- 55 kg plus 3KGs of tack, that’s nothing for a horse, the majority of the horses love racing but it’s down to the owner and the trainer whether they treat the horse right. Don’t make a comment if you know nothing about horses or racing. Prick...
carol mckeowen she is a rescue pony who I had just gotten in that pic, she had been abandoned in a field for 4 years and was neglected before she was abandoned , sorry she isn't like your Australian racehorses geez😒
carol mckeowen I never said anything about drugs , I just meant that a few of these falls were caused from the recklessness of the jockey riding . I am not against racing on fact I enjoy watching, it's just when I watch a horse fall and be fatally injured when I see it was the jockeys fault really angers me.
I feel bad for these horses getting injured. I feel bad for alot of horses that are used to make money and them thrown away. But I don’t think we should really be saying that every horse owner in the racing world is an abuser. Not every horse has a money thirsty pscho as an owner. Alot of these horse owners probably love what they are doing and so does the horses. They care about them and love them, just like any other horse owner. What happned in these races were accidents and their owners were most likely devestated. Is it really fair that we are going to sit over our phones, computers etc and call them abusers? I dont agree with how much some of the jockeys use the whip, I don’t. Let’s just remember that it is just some of them that use them too much, and not think every jockey is like that. Maybe the way the jockeys ride make it look abusive, but most of their movements are for motivation and for pushing the horse forward. My point is: Accidents can happen in ANY horse sport. Most of these owners were probably heartbroken because of the accidents. Throwing the Word abuse around is not something to take lightly
I like horses and riding them but I would never treat them like this horses have feelings too and they are my best friends if they want to stop running I let them stop if they want me to get or I’ll get of
Winteria Moon Frosty moony Moon This is someone you actually cares for their horse, thank you for saying that. Most people think having a horse is just about riding. Even if you ride the least abusive way possible it will still hurt the horse over time. But spending meaningful time with the horse and caring for it, without having to be on its back is beautiful. And those who support horse racing should really find out that it is just about the money, not for the horses benefit
lmao it actually doesn't though? the only way this would happen is if you're overworking them, not feeding them right, too much weight, wrong gear/tack, the horse has health issues, you don't shoe/trim their feet right etc. Plus they are very sensitive. so any little changes can fuck them up but generally if you know what your doing and keeping proper care, riding them casually does not "hurt them over time". sorry but that's the truth. -Unfortunately - most riders are twats im not gonna lie. I was one of them before i learned. lol
Aside from the injuries and injustice the horses serve, imagine having that much pressure and stress thrown at you in that moment when the gates open. Holy shit.
@Michael Demiurgos sweetheart I know your trying your best so I’ll put it to you this way..If you think I was I meaning the horses were being pushed.. then you were the one confused here not me. I’m well aware they run fast naturally but going so fast that one fall breaks a leg and takes their life is entirely possible and does happen cause rehab isn’t always possible and they aren’t always willing to put that effort into their recovery. But thanks for your help.
Years ago Tennessee Walking Horse were subjected to severe abuse to the hooves so the high stepping gate could be a achieved. It was awful. I had 2 of these horses. The natural gate was beautiful. I only had the hooves trimmed and a light shoe on them. A law was made to stop this abuse. I think steeplechase should be against the law. Higher and higher jumps in shows should also be stopped. A woman was killed near where l live when she was practicing jumps. The horse fell on her. My 2 walking horses lived to be 28 the other 30 years old. The pleasure l had was the love and care of them.
this is why i will never ever support racing. it is disgusting and wrong, putting the animals lives at risk all for a bit of entertainment. rest in peace beautiful souls.
#Stophorseracing Some how racing has lasted and I’m so disappointed that it has. Look at Medina spirit So young, still somehow died, Rest In Peace beautiful boys
It's usually their own fault as they sometimes inject young horses with a drug to make their bones grow quicker but it something doesn't work and the bones weaken and crumble and ugh just imaging being one of those poor horses, being in pain and not even being able to tell anyone about it 😥
carol mckeowen actually the horses in the horse racing industry are drugged so much so they do not feel they pain. They start at such a young age that it’s terrible. If you think drugs are not used in the horse racing industry they you are horribly mistaken
I am heartbroken about what they do to them I know sometimes they can't heal..... when race horses fail to succeed..... they shoot them in the head 😪 if I could I would take every single animal that is being threatened and raise them back to health
Audrey Diamondwill Same I tell ya if I had a horse I definitely wouldn’t put it under so much pressure and have it race in this cruel thing... I’d keep it as my pet and treat it with love as a family member not as a horse.
What is their point for doing this? Oh that's right, greed. All they care about is the money and not if their horse is injured. My horse is my child I get freaked out if he just gets a tiny scrape on him. I can never imagine doing that to him. Horses are supposed to be a life long friend not a disposable "partner".
Why? What is this adding to the survival of our existence? There is no point putting these poor horses through this. Money? Like to see what money is worth when the world for humans end. Money can only buy things from other humans... what can money buy you from an animal? Or from the ground you stand upon?
well unfortunately more so in todays world. Because the governments and shit own nearly everything. you can't go "live off the land" you'll get booted. (reported taken away considered tresspassing illegal living/hobo etc etc ) which is bs. so basically , if you want to eat aka survive - you need money.
Its sad sure, but its been a sport for mannnny mannnny moons, people enjoy it and so do the horses, its NO different then a professional skier going 80+ mph, put there lives in danger everyday, many die, many live, I'll forever love Horse racing, and if you watch any kind of sport, please remember that accident happen, things die, you'll even die someday!!!
Using a modern Thoroughbred to Steeplechase is ridiculous. The breeding for speed and stamina has bottlenecked the gene pool. Horses have been bred to highlight certain genes...while irradicating other necessary ones. case in point...Todays Thoroughbreds legs, just consider the width and depth between a horses Cannon bone and the Main Flexor Tendon. And the length from the bottom knee joint to the ankle (front) and the top of the Sesmoids (rear view) The diameter alone is enough to show anyone that these horses are bred down so fine and fast that they no longer have the sturdy leg to hold their own weight under fatigue and pressure. Let alone the elongated pastern with too much elasticity landing off a jump. It's a recipe for disaster. I get this is a tradition, honoring the time of the Steeplechase. But the horses that the Lords and Ladies were riding, from one church steeple to the next, crossing lands marked by walls, those horses legs were sturdy and ample. This is not the case with the Modern Thoroughbred Racehorse. Add in the fact that all the "Big Money" goes into the 3-year-old purses. A horse must race as a two-year-old (in many cases these babies knees haven't even closed) the wear and tear of this becomes evident when...if they survive...they are plagued by injuries that should never be. They need to make it not worth RUNNING 2-Year-Olds. Remember to run at TWO...they have been in training since they were yearlings. Worked with rider up at 18 months old...... WTF Anytime money is involved...Humanity flies out the window.... Sucks, but Truth!!!
You wouldn't have all these horses breaking down and injuring themsleves if people would stop racing them before their bodies are fully developed. They race horses as young as 2, when their bodies dont mature until around 4-7 and their bones are nice and strong. They don't even give the horse a fighting chance.
Sad thing is that horses will, if at all possible continue to run even if they are seriously injured. They truly run their hearts out- humans just take advantage of that.
I love horse racing but sadly either the horse wasn't ready or the rider did something wrong so really racing shouldn't be band

Imagine getting kicked in the shin. Now imagine running at full speed and hitting a fence on your shin after a miscalculated jump. That leg is shattered and 10 times worse then being kicked but expected to keep running full speed. Poor horses.
Horses love to run. But throw them at high speed over obstacles is cruel. Accidents happen. Runners breakdown when running. Just like athletes. It happens. Let them run but not jump
Agree, horses specifically thoroughbreds are bred to run at high speeds, its in their blood. But it just simply isn't natural for a horse to jump, let alone at full gallop. A simple clip of the obstacle in a gallop has the potential to throw the entire horse off balance and send horse and rider crashing to the ground.
I think the saddest thing is that these are BABY horses 2 or 3 or 4. Their bones are not completely formed. There's a reason why show jumpers are in their teens and even 20s.
Racing is the most dangerous of established sports, far more so than motor racing. Each year in Australia, on average, it claims one life, creates one quadriplegic, causes one rider brain damage, and leaves between three and five people so badly hurt in race or track falls that they can never ride again. Since records began in Australia, there have been 872 deaths.
Tragic. I great joy in my life has been watching horses run. They are beautiful alone or in groups. Perhaps these courses should be reevaluated for height of jump and distance of course. Something is wrong if that many injuries occur!
most that survive dont get to have a happy retirement. i have seen many starve to death, left injured, and die, and have saved some. millions are spent, then when theyve been run into the ground, they end up meat or worse.
This is called cruelty god will take revenge of this dont kill horse just because its leg broken man i feel really bad stop this sport man u all are not humans u all are stone hearted creatures
You wrote: Willie Mullins who passed away on August 25 2016. To iron out any misunderstanding you need to add parenthesis eg, 'The great Muthaza (trained by Willie Mullins) who passed away on August 25 2016.' I can read okay but seems you can't write.
There has to be an end to this so called sport. So many horses are made to run way too young and undeveloped, then way too often injured and having to be put down. They're just used to make money, and it's disgusting.
Swalker 2019 I highly doubt that. Animals don't love sports or competing (animals don't "love" anything) or being near humans for that matter. If left to their own devices horses will stay together in a family group, travel great distances every day and not let people get anywhere near them. What humans force them to do is harmful and unnatural.
Kaiser Frost What the fuck are you smoking? Animals can love things. My dog always runs to me when I get home and he never wants to leave my side. He was abused a lot as a puppy but he still loves me and my family. And I’ve been around horses my entire life. My barn has a massive pasture with a small group of horses and they run every day just because they want to. When I’m riding and I pass another horse I can feel my horse speed up to get ahead of them because he wants to. There are a million cases of racehorses injuring themselves and no matter how hard their jokey tries, they can’t get them to stop. Look up Ruffian. She pulverized her foot trying to win a race. Horses love to run. Trust me, you can’t force a horse to do jack shit. You can only ask them and if your try to force them to do something, they will buck you off. And fuck off with the “unnatural” bullshit. Shitting in a toilet is “unnatural.” Using a phone is “unnatural.” Cooking over a fucking fire and wearing clothes and growing crops is “unnatural.” Jesus Christ shut up and go back to sucking PETA’s dick
Swalker 2019 your stupid if you think that horses like racing. Horses don't "like" pain, you just put words in for them to benefit yourself. There's so many problems with racing. Not just the physical and mental strains but the fact that all this industry cares about is money. Horses are out running to heaven to escape the hell of the track at just 2 years old. Many of them don't even make it to that point. There's just trying to survive. I don't see horses galloping in the fields neck and neck with each other for anything. Racing is awful, I could go on for hours talking about abuse. Even after the track (If they survive and even if they do most have so many problems) there put on farms and bred over and over till there disposed of because they no longer have a "use." Because apparently in the 21st century anything that doesn't profit someone is thrown away in the most painful way possible. Except for humans because if this rule of "use" applied to us we would all be shipped to slaughter to be shot and gutted and shocked. Any competing industry big or small that has to do with animals is all based on money and abusive. Wether it's racing, animal fights, drug testing its all garbage and so are the people that's stand up for it.
Thank God horses have humans to put them in constant peril. Horses weren't even aware they wanted to race until humans assured them they did. Crisis averted.
And we call ourselves "human" beings, we are far from human when we put these sweet, sensitive animals through this for our entertainment! I am ashamed for all those involved, the owners, the breeders, the patrons...disgusting beings.....they do not deserve the honour of being called humans !
ABUSE!!!!! The men in the back are whipping the horses a lot of times to get them to go faster. Stop turning breathing animals with a heartbeat into shit like a soccer ball or a football. They shouldn’t be objects for a hobby or a “game”
They didn't die...they were made to race till they die. Their injury didn't even bother the camera, it moved with those that continue to race as if the pain of those horses was nothing but a joke. Humans have gone way too far in abusing not just other species but their own as well. If the life on earth comes to an end. I wish when it starts all over again, nature never ever again result into the evolution of humans.
so if they race till they die then, explain why they have retirement racehorse barns? explain why we have a retire racehorse named tootsie who our barn manager riders perfectly fine, explain how our other retired race horse we had rainbow was perfectly fine, ANDDDDDD rainbows foal is a race horse. rainbows racing name was "that one rainbow" her foal is "bella note" race horses DO NOT race there entire life. racing is just as dangerous as any other sport, btw the sheet they put up when putting down a horse they hold one up when there is a car crash when someone has died and also at any other horse sporting event, and anywhere that a human or animal has died. out of respect of the animal or human. and for kids and other people not to see.
Horses whom die on tracks with no respect whatsoever have owners who merely want profit. I really wish we had more racehorse owners and breeders who love their horses like family and want the best for them. And stop whipping the hell of the poor animal and let the reins a bit loose. I can some horses have their mouths yanked back and continuously whipped over and over again. Just let the horse run and do not beat it, I believe the horse falls and dies because they are in pain. Just like humans, they might forget what they are doing in the midst of the fire in their mouth from the bit being yanked back and cutting their lips and the scorching pain from their hindquarters from the crop.
People defending "not all racers", yeah not all racehorses die on the track. But do you think running a 2-3 yr old at higher speeds than he'd ever go in the wild is humane? And keeping them locked in stalls until you want to gallop them in circles? "These horses love to run". Yeah because you lock them up so they have a boatload of excess energy. Of course they want to fucking run. They're bred to be hot and energetic as it is. I'm not just talking about physical damage here. I'm also talking about the psychological aspect of locking horses up and working them hard at a young age. Too many of you people are ridiculously desensitized.
Poor horses. Did you know that most of the horses who isn't fast enough, is just shot down? I'm against horseracing. The worst thing I can see is horseraces. I can't understand why this isn't called inhumane. If this is humane, we need to redefine "humane".
Oh yes,if u think races r interesting but u can’t bear to watch this,go to Singapore.they make sure the horses don’t get over tired and over whipped so they hold checks every now and then.also after the horses retire they will have the horse sent to somewhere to enjoy their twilight years
In am not a fan of steeplechase but most of the horse race owners, trainers, and jockeys I know put more thought into the breeding, nutrition, and over all care of there horses then most of the back yard breeders I know. It breaks there heart when something happens to them.
Why in the hell do they race these horses and make them jump? What a horrible practice. I would never put a horse through that I think the owners and riders need to be put down with them. It's only fair. I love them just as much, without the jumping.
I don't agree with things that horse racers do. But I am not against it. I am a show jumper so I am not here to be hypocritial because I know there are things about my sport people don't agree with so I am in no way saying they should stop. Racers have to spend endless hours with these horses, so regardless they form a bond, they are working as a team. You can be walking a horse and accidents can happen that are fatal. For example, bridleless "Bits kill horses" people can lose control and have no way to stop their horse and that can end in a fatal accident. Any equestrian sport has risks, jumping the horses can break their legs and fall, barrels they can fall in on themselves and tear a muscle, and racing you can fall. Thats how these sports work, there are risks involved but there are risks with walking across the road. Thats life
My heart couldn't handle this... Rest in peace, beautiful babies..
Amanda B Fuck you? This is fucking abuse. Fuck you :) 🖕🏻
Deborah Opalweb these people clearly know nothing about racing all they see is a falling horse and they stray crying like a pussio
Willow Dendy Yeah I clearly know nothing about horses. The fact that I owned a few means that too. Bitch please
Deborah Opalweb “owned a few” I have 8 and I’m a intermediate rider and sweating gets you know where hunny just makes you look stupid
Willow Dendy Here is the basic know-it-all.
Horse racing in itself is already highly abusive and dangerous. Whoever had the stupid idea to put obstacles on the course, needs to rot in hell. Horses already die on racetracks enough as it is, no need to make it even more dangerous by adding freaking jumps!
its fun to watch tho
I mean yeah man, I could find entertainment in watching you fall and break a few bones at full speed, doesn't make it right though.
Purplepoppyanimator stop crying mate I didn't say it's fun watching horses break bones at high speeds I ment it from a betting point
kennikitty you're very uneducated about this, I'm so sorry you don't take the time to learn something before you bash it

rip to all thouse poor horses i hope to bring some light to the racing industry i will never let a horse jst die
they don't dick head they put it to sleep to cure the pain
I honestly hate horse and dog races. The ONLY time I have respect for these people, and the jockey, is when they show full respect to their horse and/or dogs, and give all the love they can give!

Running in high speed while carrying an idiot is bad enough.. then you put an obstacle?
Asyraf Nazri You clearly don't know much do you??

CamWest preach!!
" majority of horses love racing" 😂
Taylor for ur interest I’m a jockey 😂😂😂 u fucking idiot, why don’t u come with me to my stable sometime and we will see u fanny
This makes me so sad. My OTTB went through this abuse once. I’m so glad she made it out.
The worst thing is they don't even die loved and the last thing that they feel is abuse.
I don't get how people say this isn't abuse😯😯😯 I personally would much rather the people get hurt than the horses
Anna's Equine Spirit yep that's the type of society we live in now. Human life does not matter anymore, sad
Stephen Graham I know 😦😦😢😢
Stephen Graham Humans are the ones who start this shit. Of course it's their own fault when hurt themselves.

AlphaTengua VENTz or if they have been abused In their past and can’t be ridden or they were rescued and had an injury so they couldn’t be ridden.
What a horrible way for such an intelligent animal to go.....hurts my heart.
Disgusting. All of these horses ruined within a matter of days.
The jumps are bigger than the horses no wonder they fall poor animals beaten to run for STUPID MONEY
Aside from the injuries and injustice the horses serve, imagine having that much pressure and stress thrown at you in that moment when the gates open. Holy shit.
Horses shouldn't have to suffer and die for human entertainment, end of story!
They killed horses
We hate racing and aggressive sports for horses :(
Salah Alsuheme so then me driving me horse down the road is abuse
Salah Alsuheme oh do piss off
Bruh are you cereal. Not everything’s dangerous for horses
The fact that the horse is having to go so fast that no mistakes can happen or else they could die...that’s not right.
@Michael Demiurgos sweetheart I know your trying your best so I’ll put it to you this way..If you think I was I meaning the horses were being pushed.. then you were the one confused here not me. I’m well aware they run fast naturally but going so fast that one fall breaks a leg and takes their life is entirely possible and does happen cause rehab isn’t always possible and they aren’t always willing to put that effort into their recovery.

All in one month. Out of how many races?
Considering there’s around 6 racecards a day with 6 or 7 races 6x7=42, 42x31=1302
this is why i will never ever support racing. it is disgusting and wrong, putting the animals lives at risk all for a bit of entertainment. rest in peace beautiful souls.
Anyone else cry?
#Stophorseracing
Some how racing has lasted and I’m so disappointed that it has. Look at Medina spirit So young, still somehow died, Rest In Peace beautiful boys
Bob Baffert horse. Don’t trust the guy. They said burst aorta … who knows
Ban jump racing ... PERIOD
Stop racing babies!
It's usually their own fault as they sometimes inject young horses with a drug to make their bones grow quicker but it something doesn't work and the bones weaken and crumble and ugh just imaging being one of those poor horses, being in pain and not even being able to tell anyone about it 😥
AverageTeen Xx bollocks. Owners pay 100S a week to have horse in trainer. Why would they want em hurt no logic
carol mckeowen actually the horses in the horse racing industry are drugged so much so they do not feel they pain. They start at such a young age that it’s terrible. If you think drugs are not used in the horse racing industry they you are horribly mistaken
carol mckeowen I know their banned but the racers don't care all some of them want is to win
i mean they do tell you...you just don't listen cuz it's not in your language.
drugging the horses are banned in the usa and they test the horses if they are drugged before they race
I'm 67 years old this never seem to happen as much years ago
I am heartbroken about what they do to them I know sometimes they can't heal..... when race horses fail to succeed..... they shoot them in the head 😪 if I could I would take every single animal that is being threatened and raise them back to health
Audrey Diamondwill Same I tell ya if I had a horse I definitely wouldn’t put it under so much pressure and have it race in this cruel thing... I’d keep it as my pet and treat it with love as a family member not as a horse.
It is. My horse is a failed racehorse that they say "can no longer be ridden" and guess what...... I am jumping boxers with him
What is their point for doing this? Oh that's right, greed. All they care about is the money and not if their horse is injured. My horse is my child I get freaked out if he just gets a tiny scrape on him. I can never imagine doing that to him. Horses are supposed to be a life long friend not a disposable "partner".
I agree with you. I do jumping and if my horse hits the pole i just freak out. Luckily i use poles that come down esily
Why? What is this adding to the survival of our existence? There is no point putting these poor horses through this. Money? Like to see what money is worth when the world for humans end. Money can only buy things from other humans... what can money buy you from an animal? Or from the ground you stand upon?
Freedisch Wallin the root of all evil. Yep, money. Pure greed for the selfish idiots. SMH.
well unfortunately more so in todays world. Because the governments and shit own nearly everything. you can't go "live off the land" you'll get booted. (reported taken away considered tresspassing illegal living/hobo etc etc ) which is bs. so basically , if you want to eat aka survive - you need money.
Ha! Money. If you are talented or extremely lucky you'll make money. You spend so much more than you make in the Sport.
Its sad sure, but its been a sport for mannnny mannnny moons, people enjoy it and so do the horses, its NO different then a professional skier going 80+ mph, put there lives in danger everyday, many die, many live, I'll forever love Horse racing, and if you watch any kind of sport, please remember that accident happen, things die, you'll even die someday!!!
You would 🤔 think people would see this & ban horseracing worldwide!
All for human greed & "entertainment".

Some idiots these days, rest in peace beautiful angels 💕
Using a modern Thoroughbred to Steeplechase is ridiculous. The breeding for speed and stamina has bottlenecked the gene pool. Horses have been bred to highlight certain genes...while irradicating other necessary ones. case in point...Todays Thoroughbreds legs, just consider the width and depth between a horses Cannon bone and the Main Flexor Tendon. And the length from the bottom knee joint to the ankle (front) and the top of the Sesmoids (rear view) The diameter alone is enough to show anyone that these horses are bred down so fine and fast that they no longer have the sturdy leg to hold their own weight under fatigue and pressure. Let alone the elongated pastern with too much elasticity landing off a jump. It's a recipe for disaster.
I get this is a tradition, honoring the time of the Steeplechase. But the horses that the Lords and Ladies were riding, from one church steeple to the next, crossing lands marked by walls, those horses legs were sturdy and ample. This is not the case with the Modern Thoroughbred Racehorse.
Add in the fact that all the "Big Money" goes into the 3-year-old purses. A horse must race as a two-year-old (in many cases these babies knees haven't even closed) the wear and tear of this becomes evident when...if they survive...they are plagued by injuries that should never be. They need to make it not worth RUNNING 2-Year-Olds. Remember to run at TWO...they have been in training since they were yearlings. Worked with rider up at 18 months old...... WTF
Anytime money is involved...Humanity flies out the window.... Sucks, but Truth!!!
What does “destroyed” mean???
You wouldn't have all these horses breaking down and injuring themsleves if people would stop racing them before their bodies are fully developed. They race horses as young as 2, when their bodies dont mature until around 4-7 and their bones are nice and strong. They don't even give the horse a fighting chance.
Is this about the horses or jockey getting injured?
The horses.
Sad thing is that horses will, if at all possible continue to run even if they are seriously injured. They truly run their hearts out- humans just take advantage of that.
What does pulled up mean?
Wow so many healthy and happy horses. Not. Let the helpless animals live their live.
What does it mean by destroyed?
I love horse racing but sadly either the horse wasn't ready or the rider did something wrong so really racing shouldn't be band
Imagine getting kicked in the shin. Now imagine running at full speed and hitting a fence on your shin after a miscalculated jump. That leg is shattered and 10 times worse then being kicked but expected to keep running full speed. Poor horses.
Horses love to run. But throw them at high speed over obstacles is cruel. Accidents happen. Runners breakdown when running. Just like athletes. It happens. Let them run but not jump
Agree, horses specifically thoroughbreds are bred to run at high speeds, its in their blood. But it just simply isn't natural for a horse to jump, let alone at full gallop. A simple clip of the obstacle in a gallop has the potential to throw the entire horse off balance and send horse and rider crashing to the ground.
Did the first hire like break it’s hip
I think the saddest thing is that these are BABY horses 2 or 3 or 4. Their bones are not completely formed. There's a reason why show jumpers are in their teens and even 20s.
Yell are horse killers they are 2 and 3 years olds they don't need to run and jump like that 😡😡😡😡😡🤬😡
Horse racing is cruel and inhumane. It needs to stop immediatly. Horses are beautiful gentle creatures that don't deserve this tourture.
Racing is the most dangerous of established sports, far more so than motor racing.
Each year in Australia, on average, it claims one life, creates one quadriplegic, causes one rider brain damage, and leaves between three and five people so badly hurt in race or track falls that they can never ride again.
Since records began in Australia, there have been 872 deaths.
john dodd It also depends on which country because there are different methods of riding. Some can be more dangerous than others.
Tragic. I great joy in my life has been watching horses run. They are beautiful alone or in groups. Perhaps these courses should be reevaluated for height of jump and distance of course. Something is wrong if that many injuries occur!
Abuse, racing shouldn't be a thing
Vet checks?
Ban the sport!!!PERIOD!
And do what with 5000+ horses !?!
@@mattbunn6224 Let them free... They don't need you to survive.
most that survive dont get to have a happy retirement. i have seen many starve to death, left injured, and die, and have saved some. millions are spent, then when theyve been run into the ground, they end up meat or worse.
I do show which is just turning ur horse side to side trotting and cantering
This is called cruelty god will take revenge of this dont kill horse just because its leg broken man i feel really bad stop this sport man u all are not humans u all are stone hearted creatures
What’s the difference between “destroyed” and “euthanised” in the this scenario?
Apothegmatic Reality Nothing other than the shock factor the person wants to portray.
One important horse forgotten on this list, the great Muthaza trained by Willie Mullins who passed away on August 25, 2016
Willie Mullins is still alive. I saw him at Cheltenham last week.
@@johnshort5003 CAN YOU READ? THIS COMMENT WAS ABOUT MUTHAZA WHO WAS TRAINED BY WILLIE MULLINS NOT WILLIE MULLINS .....SAINTS PRESERVE US
You wrote: Willie Mullins who passed away on August 25 2016. To iron out any misunderstanding you need to add parenthesis eg, 'The great Muthaza (trained by Willie Mullins) who passed away on August 25 2016.' I can read okay but seems you can't write.
I just don't understand why they destroy horses when they break their legs.
Poor babies
There has to be an end to this so called sport. So many horses are made to run way too young and undeveloped, then way too often injured and having to be put down. They're just used to make money, and it's disgusting.
You know it's the same with dog races if the dog gets hurt they throw it away sell it or lill it as well with the horses it's unforgivable
Does anyone else notice how they are all British races
And there is still people saying that this shit is okay
So your gunna stop show jumping aswell are u so what r the horses gunna do if u stop all horses jumping
The horses will live the rest of their lives in peace and hopefully get good owners because the money grubbing race-psychos will have no use for them.
You do know that these horses love racing, right? They'd be devastated if you put them in a paddock for the rest of their lives.
Swalker 2019 I highly doubt that. Animals don't love sports or competing (animals don't "love" anything) or being near humans for that matter. If left to their own devices horses will stay together in a family group, travel great distances every day and not let people get anywhere near them. What humans force them to do is harmful and unnatural.
Kaiser Frost What the fuck are you smoking? Animals can love things. My dog always runs to me when I get home and he never wants to leave my side. He was abused a lot as a puppy but he still loves me and my family. And I’ve been around horses my entire life. My barn has a massive pasture with a small group of horses and they run every day just because they want to. When I’m riding and I pass another horse I can feel my horse speed up to get ahead of them because he wants to. There are a million cases of racehorses injuring themselves and no matter how hard their jokey tries, they can’t get them to stop. Look up Ruffian. She pulverized her foot trying to win a race. Horses love to run. Trust me, you can’t force a horse to do jack shit. You can only ask them and if your try to force them to do something, they will buck you off. And fuck off with the “unnatural” bullshit. Shitting in a toilet is “unnatural.” Using a phone is “unnatural.” Cooking over a fucking fire and wearing clothes and growing crops is “unnatural.” Jesus Christ shut up and go back to sucking PETA’s dick
Swalker 2019 your stupid if you think that horses like racing. Horses don't "like" pain, you just put words in for them to benefit yourself. There's so many problems with racing. Not just the physical and mental strains but the fact that all this industry cares about is money. Horses are out running to heaven to escape the hell of the track at just 2 years old. Many of them don't even make it to that point. There's just trying to survive. I don't see horses galloping in the fields neck and neck with each other for anything. Racing is awful, I could go on for hours talking about abuse. Even after the track (If they survive and even if they do most have so many problems) there put on farms and bred over and over till there disposed of because they no longer have a "use." Because apparently in the 21st century anything that doesn't profit someone is thrown away in the most painful way possible. Except for humans because if this rule of "use" applied to us we would all be shipped to slaughter to be shot and gutted and shocked. Any competing industry big or small that has to do with animals is all based on money and abusive. Wether it's racing, animal fights, drug testing its all garbage and so are the people that's stand up for it.
Sickening.
Thank God horses have humans to put them in constant peril. Horses weren't even aware they wanted to race until humans assured them they did. Crisis averted.
And we call ourselves "human" beings, we are far from human when we put these sweet, sensitive animals through this for our entertainment! I am ashamed for all those involved, the owners, the breeders, the patrons...disgusting beings.....they do not deserve the honour of being called humans !
That first one right out the gate was running with a massive head bob. He was definately supposed to be drugged up on pain meds. Shameful
The racing industry is sick. When a horse is down, you stop the race. They don't care the horse is about to die. It's awful.
Rip the innocent soul
God, why the hell hasn't horse racing been banned yet!...
steeple chasing is what they need to get rid of. How many horses die on flat racing compare to jumps?
Too Many Unfortunate but true
The horse must be destroyed when it falls and is injured, but what about humans?
Poor horses ))): You should not use them that way D:
ABUSE!!!!! The men in the back are whipping the horses a lot of times to get them to go faster. Stop turning breathing animals with a heartbeat into shit like a soccer ball or a football. They shouldn’t be objects for a hobby or a “game”
They didn't die...they were made to race till they die. Their injury didn't even bother the camera, it moved with those that continue to race as if the pain of those horses was nothing but a joke.
Humans have gone way too far in abusing not just other species but their own as well. If the life on earth comes to an end. I wish when it starts all over again, nature never ever again result into the evolution of humans.
so if they race till they die then, explain why they have retirement racehorse barns? explain why we have a retire racehorse named tootsie who our barn manager riders perfectly fine, explain how our other retired race horse we had rainbow was perfectly fine, ANDDDDDD rainbows foal is a race horse. rainbows racing name was "that one rainbow" her foal is "bella note" race horses DO NOT race there entire life. racing is just as dangerous as any other sport, btw the sheet they put up when putting down a horse they hold one up when there is a car crash when someone has died and also at any other horse sporting event, and anywhere that a human or animal has died. out of respect of the animal or human. and for kids and other people not to see.
How can people slap their horses so much, just for money????
Horses whom die on tracks with no respect whatsoever have owners who merely want profit. I really wish we had more racehorse owners and breeders who love their horses like family and want the best for them. And stop whipping the hell of the poor animal and let the reins a bit loose. I can some horses have their mouths yanked back and continuously whipped over and over again. Just let the horse run and do not beat it, I believe the horse falls and dies because they are in pain. Just like humans, they might forget what they are doing in the midst of the fire in their mouth from the bit being yanked back and cutting their lips and the scorching pain from their hindquarters from the crop.
Poor horses😭😭😭😭
Was the fastest horse around a black stallion faster than his old dad who was a racer. Had to be put down
People defending "not all racers", yeah not all racehorses die on the track. But do you think running a 2-3 yr old at higher speeds than he'd ever go in the wild is humane? And keeping them locked in stalls until you want to gallop them in circles? "These horses love to run". Yeah because you lock them up so they have a boatload of excess energy. Of course they want to fucking run. They're bred to be hot and energetic as it is.
I'm not just talking about physical damage here. I'm also talking about the psychological aspect of locking horses up and working them hard at a young age. Too many of you people are ridiculously desensitized.
If you don't like racing under either rules don't watch!! All modern televisions have an on/off switch!!!
I had no idea we can kill a animal so quickly from our own greed and lack.
So wait your telling me that running horses for money is unacceptable but people running for money is acceptable?
bruh, those comments here...
Poor horses. Did you know that most of the horses who isn't fast enough, is just shot down? I'm against horseracing. The worst thing I can see is horseraces. I can't understand why this isn't called inhumane. If this is humane, we need to redefine "humane".
Oh yes,if u think races r interesting but u can’t bear to watch this,go to Singapore.they make sure the horses don’t get over tired and over whipped so they hold checks every now and then.also after the horses retire they will have the horse sent to somewhere to enjoy their twilight years
😢
lets raise voice for voiceless
Murderers
Why is everyone so surprised. A crap ton of horses die every week because of this disgusting, disgusting abomination.
This is awful beating a horse while riding in high speed
In am not a fan of steeplechase but most of the horse race owners, trainers, and jockeys I know put more thought into the breeding, nutrition, and over all care of there horses then most of the back yard breeders I know. It breaks there heart when something happens to them.
Why in the hell do they race these horses and make them jump? What a horrible practice. I would never put a horse through that I think the owners and riders need to be put down with them. It's only fair. I love them just as much, without the jumping.
I don't agree with things that horse racers do. But I am not against it. I am a show jumper so I am not here to be hypocritial because I know there are things about my sport people don't agree with so I am in no way saying they should stop. Racers have to spend endless hours with these horses, so regardless they form a bond, they are working as a team. You can be walking a horse and accidents can happen that are fatal. For example, bridleless "Bits kill horses" people can lose control and have no way to stop their horse and that can end in a fatal accident. Any equestrian sport has risks, jumping the horses can break their legs and fall, barrels they can fall in on themselves and tear a muscle, and racing you can fall. Thats how these sports work, there are risks involved but there are risks with walking across the road. Thats life
Can’t watch this. These race horses are run too young. Injuries are prevalent.
Actually if the horses were older they’d be far more likely to die
rip all those horses :( RIP
0:22 Why does that horse run like that?
It had a curry the night before...ever tried running and then trying slow down before you shit yourself
Poor horses
First of all your carring a idiot on your back whilst running at top speed.
