Excellent way to kill yourself and a horseI was known to enjoy a good horse race in my day, but when they started shooting thoroughbreds on the racetrack like a carnival game I opted out.
Not to mention that riding a horse can be dangerous too, although a misstep doesn't necessarily mean you'll be shot. They didn't shoot Christopher Reeve, now did they?
This picture was taken yesterday at Fox Hunters' Chase which I believe is in Britain. There's no word on whether jockey, G Gallagher, and horse, De Luain Gorm, are okay, but then again, there's no word that they aren't all right.
It seems to me that horses don't really like to jump over those hedges that crop up on racetracks from time to time, yet that seems to be part of the fun, like pulling wings off flies.

Now THAT"S a nose dive.
I think like a couple of horses die each year in average during those races. All of them probably beak their necks.
