Dreadful thing to happen, only hope the horse would have known nothing about it. So many sick ******s out there walking among us passing themselves off as "normal".

Hard to take in. He was the most gorgeous horse. Just hope it was quick and he knew nothing about it. There's got to be more to this than some fool wandering around with a gun looking for a helpless target.

Sickening. A shame we cannot shoot the people who did this.

Agree with you Daffodil, these things are rarely random. Poor horse :-(

sad waste of a stunning horse.

Wow, poor horse and poor owner, what a thing to find. It is certainly a big puzzle as ~"powerful handguns" are not very easy to get hold of in Britain, so it is not like some nutter with a shotgun or even a rifle, which are widespread.

Awful.�� Wish I could shoot the owners with a handgun when they are retired. ����

Sick sick sick sick b*stards.

Its beginning to feel like nowhere is safe for horses.

Seriously?!! I didn't even realise!!! That's even more terrible! Ugh! That idiot better die in a hole!

Utterly awful. Hope those responsible are caught and brought to justice as soon as possible.

You can't even begin to think what sort of person would do this.

RIP boy

Yep, tributes from connections in the Racing Post: Woolfall Treasure, only two days in to field rest after box rest, poor horse.

 

[Spilletta]

This was covered on The Morning Line just now. Felt so sorry for the owner and connections.

They don't seem to know who has done this , its frightening.

awful cowardly attack on an innocent horse- I hope karma hits them 10 fold.


RIP beautiful grey boyxxxx

 

[risky business]

It's awful.

I was stabled at the yard in question a few years back and it's scarey to think that could of been my horse....

Really sad for the owners and hope they find whoever did such a terrible thing.
