An equinetastrophy....

That's fucking horrible.

dayam,,,sucks

who's the beneficiary of the insurance policies ?

holy shit, sounds like mass poisoning, sad to hear

someone poison them?

really sucks, hope they find who did this!

Not necessarily done by someone. It could be something.

It sounds like something the horses were exposed to here that they didn't have any immunity to, being from south America.

Fucked up.

That's extremely horrible!

it's a drug smuggling conspiracy. thos eponies are packed full of cocaine, the vets are in on it. they will be dissected and the good on their way to distribution before dark tonight...

Bad news,could be a mistake or maybe a twisted mind

Thats sad

Moldy hay can do a number on horses. I would think the Polo club would be filtering that out though.

end of world?

The number of horses is up to 21 now.

I live in the area and those people are serious about there equine events.

Some are real serious pricks too!!!!

I bet someone poisoned those horses so their team would win...... I wouldn't put it past then!!!!

This is always an option these days I guess...... But the horses were worth way more than any amount of drugs you could put inside of them.... BELEIVE THAT!!!!

"According to several sources, the horses had a reaction to a steroid derivative that may have been tainted with a cleaning solution, the Sun Sentinel reported. The shots apparently were administered by an Argentine vet not licensed in the U.S., it further reported."

That was in this other article http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localne...ses.html?imw=Y

I'm sure the horse people in Wellington are glad to here it was done elsewhere, They are trying really hard to keep all the big horse events in Wellington.

Oh man, that sucks.

god damn :Oh crap

:(:Oh crap:Oh crap

shitty deal

That sucks

Poor horses...

damn thats a shame.

i seriously hope this was a big accident and not intentional

Damn. that is just sad.

That is really heartbreaking, I hope it was fast for the horses sake...

I was there yesterday, a beautiful day that went really grim. It was very shocking. The highlight was seeing all the people get together and lend a hand when the horses started dropping.

The Sun Sentinel is jumping the gun a bit. The vets who were working on the horses did not want to speculate on anything. They are still waiting back on results from the autopsies.
