Some times putting the horse down is the most humane thing instead of it enduring a life long of pure pain with such a low quality of life. You really don't understand any bit of the sport.

He very definitely shattered his knee.

That is also why they were trying to have him lie down--to limit the pain and get him under control. The green screens are to give quiet and privacy in that most trying and sad event, not to hide what they had to do, although that is also appropriate, as it is a sad thing for them all and should be allowed to be private.

Horses have no concept of "privacy" and tarps held up on poles are not going to "provide quiet" What nonsense. This horse was in extreme pain. He was being injected with some drug, to end his life.

As nice as an idea that'd be, it's unrealistic. Most injuries sustained in horse racing are broken legs, most of which fail to heal properly...these horse would either have to live a life of pain, or have the leg amputated. Both of which are inhumane. Sure, you keep the horse on pain killers, but you'll never truly rid the animal of pain (they are prey animals, and are known to hide pain). Plus over use on a poorly healed leg will not last long, eventually leading to more damage and pain for the horse. Amputation, can get rid of the pain, but horses cannot live on three legs. Their body weight and poor weight distribution makes it a bad idea...if done, the added weight pressure on the other three legs will eventually lead them to deteriorate, resulting in the initial problem of pain. Hence, euthanasia in these cases is the best option for these horses...if we could rehabilitate these horses to do work like you suggest, I'd be all for it. Alas, it's not feasible to justify in regard to horse welfare. But the better option overall, would be to ban all horse racing events! That way we wouldn't have these issues arising in the first place...but banning horse racing just isn't going happen anytime soon.

I'd just like to state that if a horse takes a heavy fall like that involving the knees, the chances of there being serious injury or permemnt disability are high.. If its a serious one it will be physically evident and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a vet to take a decision at the racecourse to have a horse euthanized as a result.. The reason they are trying to sit the horse down is because its distressed, in pain and trying to kick up which would cause even further pain for the horse.. Horses are units, they are very heavy and awkward to handle when in distress so the images of the men trying to sit the horse down looks rough and ready but you can see they are all trying their hardest to settle cliffs dream and do what's right for the horse...

These horses would never have come into this world but for the horserace industry. They are swooned over, admired, and called beautiful because of their athleticism and records on the track. So the very thing that arguably has led to their demise (heart attack, severe joint injury, etc) is also the thing that gets them noticed and acclaimed. And you never know: even the family horse whiling away its hours in the pasture and occasionally ridden, can suffer a fate like this.

@@brendanpower2296 - Your words, not mine. I didn't say anything about how a racehorse feels; not my point. My point is that the strenuous training and racing of these animals makes it inevitable that some will succumb to injury or premature death. This horse stumbled and suffered a catastrophic injury. That's not to say the family horse wouldn't suffer such an injury. Or that maybe racehorses are more durable because their muscular legs give them extra protection. But on the whole, I think the rigors of training and racing put them at greater risk.

Horses not only break bones on a racecourse but out in the field or native pony's on the moors or forests, is Dartmoor, Exmoor, New forest pony's, free running ponies may not be found immediately, majority of these ponies injuries are caused by car driver's! My horse fractured it's pelvis in the field some time between 15.00-17.00 hrs, seen by the vet by 18.00 and diagnosed, she had to have a month tied in stable then 6 months in a barn, 20ft X 20ft, she was fairly placid temperament, so her mind was reasonable ok but she lost a lot of muscle tone and looked like crap when she was eventually given the ok to Go out in an enclosed area, doped to avoid any running around! It is now 19 months since the injury, and I have only just sat on her, she is sound but feels tight in her back, due to the fact that the pelvis is a circular structure as opposed to a straight and it is sorounded by muscle that is the only reason she is still alive, have to say there have been many times over this time that I wondered if she be better uthanised

Horse racing like any other sport has its dark sides . Having to put down broken up horses is part of it. Some horses die in training, some don't make it to the racetrack and are sent to the knackered to make up for room. Most retired racehorse who are just way to many to find a new home become part of your pet's food. That 's the world we live in. There' s not enough space for everyone, there's not enough financial means to go around. End of. If you have a heart for horses, then why don't you have a heart too for stocks and poultry? They live too, they known the meaning of fear, of pain and misery we are responsible for. Get a grip!!. One more thing, it's in the horse's interest to put a screen so you don't have to force a horse with a fractured leg to move a place where crowds can see him from. For those who don't known I worked as a stable lad for nearly twenty years and worked as a racing photographer for another 17 seasons. I ve seen my fair share of casualties. and I known just how it feel to go and pick up your runner knowing he 's gonna be shot down in a few minutes times.. Before they pass away, they just rear up for the last t time . It' s not a funny sight at all. It's just the dark side of racing. Everything has a dark side.

I have some potentially upsetting information to share. The horses are not inherently at fault for their fate; rather, they are often killed due to insurance policies. To ensure that an insurance claim is valid, horses must die during a race. While some of these horses may have been able to recover, but not race again, it is deemed more cost-effective to put them down rather than keep them on a pasture.
