Oh my gosh! Take a look at the contorted picture of the right front hoof of this horse: http://flickr.com/photos/islandpferde/1207774256/in/set-72157601569036835 See how twisted it is out to the side?
That's the horse who lost the huge hunk of hoof in the finals...he was the favorite to win the World Championships until that happened...and I think he still got second place...? Remember him - his rider didn't have the decency to dismount until he was well outside the ring...and then he lit a cigarette, before he looked at the hoof...? That's just sad. Did I see that the riders were signing autographs at the WC...? Who wants the autograph of an abuser? Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
