My heart couldn't handle this... Rest in peace, beautiful babies..

This makes me so sad. My OTTB went through this abuse once. I’m so glad she made it out.

rip to all thouse poor horses i hope to bring some light to the racing industry i will never let a horse jst die

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.

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!

Running in high speed while carrying an idiot is bad enough.. then you put an obstacle?

I don't get how people say this isn't abuse😯😯😯 I personally would much rather the people get hurt than the horses

The worst thing is they don't even die loved and the last thing that they feel is abuse.

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

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!

What a horrible way for such an intelligent animal to go.....hurts my heart.

rip for all the horses died during the races. they risk their lives for nothing.. i feel sad..

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.

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

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.

#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

The jumps are bigger than the horses no wonder they fall poor animals beaten to run for STUPID MONEY

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.

Disgusting. All of these horses ruined within a matter of days.

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.

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!!!

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!!!

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

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".

Anyone else cry?

All in one month. Out of how many races?

I'm 67 years old this never seem to happen as much years ago

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 😥

They killed horses We hate racing and aggressive sports for horses :(

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

Wow so many healthy and happy horses. Not. Let the helpless animals live their live.

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.

Some idiots these days, rest in peace beautiful angels 💕

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

Horses shouldn't have to suffer and die for human entertainment, end of story!

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?

If you don't like racing under either rules don't watch!! All modern televisions have an on/off switch!!!

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.

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.

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.

Did the first hire like break it’s hip

Is this about the horses or jockey getting injured?

You would 🤔 think people would see this & ban horseracing worldwide! All for human greed & "entertainment". Sick 🤢! 💔 🤘

Horse racing is cruel and inhumane. It needs to stop immediatly. Horses are beautiful gentle creatures that don't deserve this tourture.

Abuse, racing shouldn't be a thing

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.

Ban the sport!!!PERIOD!

I just don't understand why they destroy horses when they break their legs.

One important horse forgotten on this list, the great Muthaza trained by Willie Mullins who passed away on August 25, 2016

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.

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.

Disgusting they should STOP this kind of Racing just Heart Breaking how many horses get destroyed

Ban jump racing ... PERIOD

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.

Was macht der Mensch nur mit diesen wundervollen Tieren. Er treibt sie für Geld in den Tot

Does anyone else notice how they are all British races

What does “destroyed” mean???

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 !

steeple chasing is what they need to get rid of. How many horses die on flat racing compare to jumps?

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

Rip the innocent soul

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.

God, why the hell hasn't horse racing been banned yet!...

Why is everyone so surprised. A crap ton of horses die every week because of this disgusting, disgusting abomination.

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”

How can people slap their horses so much, just for money????

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.

The horse must be destroyed when it falls and is injured, but what about humans?

Horse racing is pure abuse in this industry they don't care about the horse all they care about is their money the stupid selfish humans ruin these beautiful innocent animals lives

Horrible, how can people do this for money. They should have get out there and run just like the horse.

I do show which is just turning ur horse side to side trotting and cantering

Stop racing babies!

Poor horses ))): You should not use them that way D:

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

What does it mean by destroyed?

I think they should just stop doing horse races,,, those horse shouldn't be going thru that, especially dying,, and on the human,,, there's so many families that will never see they love one,, and it's very sad

What does pulled up mean?

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

Was the fastest horse around a black stallion faster than his old dad who was a racer. Had to be put down

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.

Poor babies

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".

And there is still people saying that this shit is okay

Vet checks?

Just like with any athletic sport, humans or otherwise, injuries occur. The racing industry has come a long way from the past and most of the horses these days are drug tested. If they are found drugged in any way (steroids or others) then they are immediately disqualified and not allowed to race. All horses must be vetted the day of the race; before and after, to make sure nothing is wrong with them and to reduce injuries from occurring. There are also teams on standby in case a horse goes down, including equine veterinarians. The racing industry was a horrible thing in the past, but they are doing much better now. These lives were lost in a cruel way. I'm just glad that people are learning from their mistakes and much is being done to keep these accidents from happening again.

This is awful beating a horse while riding in high speed

What’s the difference between “destroyed” and “euthanised” in the this scenario?

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

So wait your telling me that running horses for money is unacceptable but people running for money is acceptable?

This is so sad to watch

This is why I don't go to watch horse racing.

Their torture begins before the races not all but alot.

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

in a race once a horse has injured itself they should stop the race or the horse will injure itself even more trying to catch up with the others

I don't feel bad what u should feel bad for is the horses wiping the actual crap out of them is abuse they have a lot of nerves and it really hurts I truly don't feel bad break ur leg neck whatever u chose the crappy division to put a horse through that

are tracks ever held responsible for deaths of a rider or a horse

lets raise voice for voiceless

Poor horses First of all your carring a idiot on your back whilst running at top speed.

Yell are horse killers they are 2 and 3 years olds they don't need to run and jump like that 😡😡😡😡😡🤬😡

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.
