@@colatopchik Zamayslel died at the Taxis ditch (fracture cervical spine).

This year one at Taxis again. It suddenly jumped sideways, and so many fell behind it, I was honestly surprised more were not done for.

Ban this sport Animal abusement actly😢😢😢

[@alancarlton8380]

I can only say thankfully, it being in black and white, obviously means it's not run anymore cos that not only inhumane but there was no warnings saying to the horse 'beware River ahead'(obviously in Czech)

[@sarahm.5356]

Oh it's still being run.

[@nbsnake441]

It is still there but the obstacles changed. Still, always someone falls. It happens often during steeple chases.
