Just to put a bit of prespective into the Grand National posts this is what happens everday.

GE was a top class horse and Im really sorry to hear of his death and will be a great loss to connections.

So sad and one of those things. God bless son xxx

Sad loss of a beautiful horse.

Very sad, and a timely reminder that our four legged friends can be fatally injured whilst seemingly in the safest possible environment.
RIP Great Endeavour

Very sad, a lovely boy, he was part of the racing scene, and a good horse.

Thats a shame My OH made a very good point about my comment that horses can die in their fields and accidents happen - this was in response to a discussion we were having about the GN - he said, "but would you put your horse in a field with such bad ground that every year 2 or 3 horses broke their legs in it from running around?" Gave me food for thought

What a shame

The upside was he was having a lovely time hanging out in a field being a horse - just another reminder of how fragile horses can be

OMG My horse is his half-brother (by Great Palm) So very very sad ;-(

RIP Great Endeavour a good horse whom I followed 2 years ago along with Sunnyhill Boy who were both up and coming chasers at the time. Despite winning the Paddy Power this season it is a sad shame he won't now get the chance to see if he can cut it at graded level.
Lovely looking horse too and it just goes to show how fragile horses can be and that fatal accidents can happen anytime anywhere.
After reading much drivel this past week about the Grand National regarding the fences, number of runners etc this certainly puts that into perspective as does the result of the 4.55 at Cheltenham yesterday a race which did I did happen to watch, hence my reference to it.

Ban fields then they damage themselves in stables ban stables then want oh ban horses.

Ban fields then they damage themselves in stables ban stables then want oh ban horses.

Indeed. God forbid anyone owning an animal for their own enjoyment. It just shouldn't be allowed in case of the looming fatal injury! A debate that will run for eternity fuelled by hypocrisy.

R.I.P. Great Endeavour

Didn't see it, what happened?

 

[millhouse]

Tragic loss. Rest in peace boy.

I looked up the results of the 16:55 at Cheltenham last Thursday. Five ran, one unseated and three fell. I would like to see it for myself.

I don't know the outcome for the horses concerned but it was for conditionals I think and they were very inexperienced, in heavy going with tired horses it was like ninepins. Did feel sorry for the one that fell at the last though, he was out on his feet. A top jockey may have got him over it by brute strength and balance but he just keeled over.

Anyway, RIP Great Endeavour, he was a lovely horse.
