Im still pissed off about the horse probably getting put down. Not surprising idiots from Chicago have no idea on how to take care of horses. Maybe its because I grew up with horses, but my god anyone with any knowledge seeing that guy push that horse that hard on pavement knew what the consequences of that horse were going to be.
Forcing a horse to gallop for 7 miles on pavement without shoes is asking for trouble (shouldnt do it with shoes either because the lack of traction). A walk and trot is what is recommended if you have to ride your horse on pavement, horses arent meant to run for long periods of time on hard surfaces.
That horse was probably in unbelievable pain from its feet, which caused it to overwork itself to try and run that distance. That was straight up animal cruelty.
