[RC] Will a horse run itself to death? - Laura Hayes

To answer that question----yes.  I have seen it happen.  The horse finally stopped, and blood drawn from it was black indicating a lack of oxygen.  The most traumatic thing I have ever witnessed - 1986.  It took me years to even talk about it, and now, thank goodness, this sport has developed safe guards against uncaring and criminal riders.
