Look, a wonderful animal is FOOKING DEAD! Who CARES if it was 'travellers' or NOT??? The horse is DEAD because of disrespect, stupidity, ignorance, 'macho' (if so), and I don't CARE if it was Princess Anne, Her Supreme Majestsy, George Bush, Condie Rice,Joe Blow Public or Dick Francis who was riding/dunking it. The horse is DEAD.

I hope the rider/owner what whoever is caught and proscuted for at least cruelty. As intelligent as horses are, it could as well be murder. Get the courts to believe that if you will. It after all was just an animal.

You know what? In some cases, TRADITION deserves to die.

You suppose they will 'wake' the horse? They should.
