[RC] Polo Ponies Update - Raven

Okay...two questions. WHY would you bring sick horses to an event? And
WHY would you inject cleaning solition into your pony??!?!!!
IMHO...DUMB!  CRUEL and INHUMANE.    How sad for the ponies.

"The horses began breathing heavily and stumbling at the Lechuza
equestrian facility before they were brought to the polo club"

"At the highly competitive level of the Wellington tournament,
distributing "cocktails" to horses prior to matches to enhance their
performance is a common practice, said several polo experts. The
steroid-like chemicals are given to horses mixed with their water or
can be administered by needle, the sources said.  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."
