What hasn't been mentioned is that some of the horses get heart attacks.
I've abandoned everything to do with the stampede simply because of the rodeo. I don't invite guests to Calgary during the stampede after being emberassed over the dead horses announcement on the radio. Leave everything but the rodeo and i'm in. The rodeo is an emberassment to our world class city.
Other than that, this thread is really confusing, the owners love their animals and they are well cared for yet they race their horses to a possible death. Lots of money has been put into training these horses for the races yet they have been saved from the slaughter. Bit of contradiction in here.
