oh no!! this is scary

ANyone see this story about the polo ponies? I hate to be an alarmist, but it does look like someone targeted the animals when they might have been left unattended.

Kerry, I worked as a groom for a string of polo ponies many, many moons ago. Not of that caliber, but you're still taking care of animals to the tune of maybe $100,000, not to mention you get damn attached, and you don't leave those unattended, let alone...

Of course, we didn't have the crazies we do these days. Or at least not as many of them. Still, I'd start by looking first at who had easy access, especially since there were so many affected. Horrible, horrible tragedy. :cry:

I find this to be so sad These horses are true athletes We love to watch the polo ponies There are too many crazies outthere I saw on the news that it could have even been the fly spray 8O
So sad.

Wasn't there a problem with a fungus in horse feed a couple of years ago - it wasn't intentional, just accidental if I remember correctly. It seems like it was picked up in the field, before harvesting, and the fed killed the horses pretty quickly.
:( :( :(

I hadn't seen it. :(
