And his World came crashing down , it wasn't a picture any horse lover enjoyed , in fact to some it was beyond distasteful . It invoked so much pain in some that they felt the need to write about their feelings. Here was ablaze with anger , the Man was called all sorts  you'd think he had killed the poor beast . A man sat on a Dead Horse and gave the victory Sign.
Animal lovers were shocked ,calling for him to be banned for life from holding a trainers licence , no inquiry allowed they said it was obvious what he was .  A Tramp,Pikey , etc . A Man sat on a Dead Horse and gave the victory Sign..
Pay he must went out the call , yet those very same people will enjoy a lunch today of Halal meat , were animals have their blood spilled while still in their full senses , screaming in agony as their lives slip slowly away , terrified and shaking as the knife enters their jugular vein , no nice injection to put them to sleep . A Man sat on a Dead Horse and gave the victory sign .
As someone who loves horses and has worked with them , I have seen several die and its never nice . Die they do sadly ,but it still hurts when a friend leaves your life under any circumstances .
Nobody is condoning that picture least of all me , anyone who has worked around horses know you do it for the love of them , its certainly not for the money .

Indeed. One can only milk it that much. Any more it will become more than an obsession - it will become an illness for some.

I despise those on the bookies gravy train eg horse racing presenters/journalists promoting gambling/the BHA for condoning the same bookies responsible for the proliferation of fobt machines in the high streets resulting in the mega increase in problem gambling and addictsamongst youngsters, mental health and distress on players and their families not forgetting the burden these have had on public entities eg nhs, police and legal bodies and society.

The horse was already dead, and nobody died. Try and put it in perspective.

i agree the man has suffered enough , given his punishment is not yet even delivered yet and reality is he didnt kill the horse just made a dreadful error that conveyed a total lack of empathy to one of his horses

but in interest of balance there are many many more folk who are charged with animal care that have empathy and connection to thier animals

no point saying its ok because others do worse , many others do better also

and ive tried to see the pic from his side , i personally cant but he should be allowed to move on whatever that means for him

whether that involves horses is for owners to decide tbh and as you see a few have already

Like you hello, I think he is bearing a big cost personally for this picture. Unfortunately there has been a huge amount of coverage of it in the world outside of horse racing and unfair as it is, this needs to be dealt with. The picture will never go away and while he is involved in horse racing it will always be a target for the loony left brigade that seems to have so much power in our world. I'm afraid he needs to go and find something else to do for the good of the sport. I know it's a little unfair but this has become a big issue now. The quicker he goes, the better for everyone.

The point being the horse was dead..... jockeys sometimes get a fence wrong and the horse never gets up from the fall. Don’t see jockeys of horses that have died being told to quit.. get another job etc. In fact apart from the generic “ very sad for the owners loss and how much the horse meant to them” comments, they are back out there in the next race without a care in the world. It’s a very fickle world.....

The long lasting cancel culture style punishment doesn’t fit the crime.

Might as well as drag him out in front of firing squad if you’re going to completely destroy his life.

And that’s just him...no ones talked about his family, kids at school, the stable staff who’ll be out of work or the creditors who will end up with nothing because he’s bankrupt.

Cancel culture is an evil blood sport.

Matt Hancock is under fire for receiving £10,000 from a top horse auctioneer that runs a multi-million-pound annual sale at Cheltenham Festival, openDemocracy can reveal.

The donation comes as local frustration mounts over an ‘overdue’ inquiry into why last year’s festival, held days before the UK went into its first national lockdown on 23 March, was allowed to proceed. Scientists say the four-day event, attended by 250,000 people, may have been responsible for more than ten thousand COVID-19 cases.

Hancock received £10,000 from Tattersalls in November, according to the latest register of ministers’ financial interests. The health secretary has received more than £140,000 from the company, which is the oldest bloodstock auctioneer in the world and the largest thoroughbred sales house in Europe, since being elected in 2010.
