    Those poor ponies in Florida

    I feel so bad for the polo ponies who died so tragically in Florida. It is now looking like it had something to do with vitamin shots the horses were given ...

    Why do the horses even need vitamin shots?

    Very sad. They most likely need the shots because they run them so hard. I do not believe they have very good lives.

    That's a broad statement if you are referring to all polo horses. I suspect, like anything else, including pet ownership, some are cherished, cared for well and live happy lives, and some are neglected or abused. It is to be found anywhere and anytime you put animals and people together.

    This has been a shocking and tragic event, and I do hope they get to the bottom of the whole thing. Poor horses

    I just read about it... it said the prescription was wrongly made... and that caused them internal bleeding and death...

    it was a compound of B12.. in effort to reduce fatigue... but also prohibited in USA although the main "factory" in in Georgia...

    so I read..
