There is no possible excuse to justify the use of horses for this purpose. My heart breaks for Eight Belles and all the other horses who are pushed past their physical limits--a form of abuse, I don't care what anyone says--all for the perverse pleasure of humans. It is cruel and it is unnecessary.
It's terrible isin't it. I agree, poor babies. I wonder how many animals in captivity dream of running free? To see wild horses is breathtaking! Very primal!
