I've not seen the wild horse races although I've heard of them. To
be honest, NONE of the animals are "willing" participants. That is why
we have to be good stewards. Therein lies the problem; what is OK to one
person isn't OK to another.
Are they still having the wild horse races? I've not seen them
promoted in rodeos lately.
I
wonder what their 'official' reply would be to an inquiry about the Wild
Horse Races that many rodeos have as part of their draw. Those horses are
in NO WAY willing participants. I attended my first (and last) rodeo
back in the 90's where I watched the Wild Horse Race with a sick stomach
and even sicker heart as those panicked, terrified horses fought with all
they had for what they felt were their very lives.
