I see dozens of those every year...Looking to"save a horse from te track" or buy a young horse for the 10 yo daughter with 3 years of experience.....
The sport and industry survive not only because of the champions that are remembered forever but also because of the losers that are so easy to forget...

Spot on. We have a problem with jumps horses down under. There's lobby groups at every Victorian jumps meeting making a nuisance of themselves. Jumps racing in Victoria Australia is going thru a very trying time. It may not last the distance!

That riderless horse jumping into the crowd at Warrnambool didn't help either. Jumps racing needs another Crisp from down under.

very unfortunate. He jumped a 2 meter fence. The approach to that fence (perimeter fence) was probably a little tight which forced him a little I suppose, but the point is that people race these animals because they love them to pieces. They don't do it to hurt them. I've heard said that horses don't jump naturally but I'm dam sure that they love to do it once taught.
