Equestrian Eventing: The Olympics' Most Dangerous "Sport":
The cross country course design has become too challenging, They risk breaking the horses' necks or backs.
Animal welfare groups
criticised horse sports with claims of animal cruelty.
Breeding
For years, horses have been bred to run fast. As a result, thoroughbreds have oversized frames and undersized legs. They are so fragile that injuries are commonplace. Furthermore, inbreeding causes genetic defects among racehorses.
Drugs
Horses are often made dependent on the drugs that their veterinarians and trainers provide. While the drugs may relieve symptoms such as bleeding and pain, they do not treat the underlying problems. Instead, they are used to keep horses who are too injured to race on the track.
Frequently Administered Drugs
- Lasix
- Bute
- Steroids
Injuries
Horses are frequently made to race at the age of two. Since their bones have not fully developed at that point, injuries are common. In addition, many are raced so often that their joints and bones deteriorate. Steeple chasing is designed to make horses fall; this sometimes results in death or serious injury for which the animal is euthanized.
Common Injuries
- Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage, i.e. blood in the horse's lungs and windpipe
- Lameness
- Knee fractures
- Ligament sprains
- Joint sprains
- Shin soreness
- Hairline fractures
After Racing, horses are often
- Killed for human consumption overseas
- Made into dog food
- Used to produce glue
- Murdered by their "owners" who then file fraudulent insurance claims.
You Can Help
- Do not patronize racetracks
- Distribute anti-horseracing information outside of racetracks
- Lobby against the construction of new racetracks
- Educate others about the cruelty involved in horseracing
We urge the International Olympic Commitee to ban all Horse competitions from the Olympic Games.
