In my town of Tucson, we have this community that really goes crazy with holiday lights. They call it winter haven"So they have tours through there. Including horse-drawn sleigh rides. The other night one of the horses got spooked, had a sudden heart attack and died. The news reports were all focused on the eh human feelings in this case, surprise, surprise! Well, I am just wondering- how do I find out what sort of veterinary care the animals receive? How could this have been prevented? A friend of mine know the folks who run the sleighs and assured me that they are very good tot heir animals. That they only work once a year (at Christmas time) and that they live in a pasture the rest of the time. (which makes me wonder what sort of exercise routine they have normally to make sure they stay fit to do that job... Dave posted a link in another thread for the animal defense league and I see they have a team or group for the university in my town. Maybe I should contact them and ask some of these questions?
