Love your horse stories! I am especially proud of the Native American Warriors and their horses. He's right the warrior blood is still alive in their veins. How spectacular it is to be Native aamerican! Bravo
Zenyatta was the Queen. Shergar a tragedy. The NA relay races cruelty disguised as culture. Story didn't mention how many horses are injured or destroyed. And beating them to run faster. Cloning?? Disgusting. Horse breaks a leg in game. Well it's ok. Just bring in Same Horse #18. If you wouldn't clone a human, you should clone horse or anything else.
Wow the 17 year old young lady is a hell of a horse rider ♥️
A female Secretariat!
I,m sure Zinyata will have plenty of visitors at the farm where's he retires
Theses horse rides are "
USED" just to make big money!!! Then, when there all used up. There treatment is horrible like garbage 🗑. I'm against this treatment!!!! You men will have your day like this called Karma😮
The cloning is horrible and his insistence on not giving them names is gross. They are a product/tool for him not a living, breathing being. 🤢
How can a horse be "kid" napped? Horse napping. Native Americans "racing" horses is disgusting. Ego, that needed somewhere to go. They didn't give a crap about the animals. I've been guilty of my own stupidity, related to horses. No excuse for for me or them.
I can’t watch this because I’m afraid it will show some of what the disgraceful regime is doing to horses and other wildlife… slaughtering them🙁
It's shaming that no matter where in the world, people can't seem to manage a horse without whipping it. Global cruelty and it is still not banned! Shameful treatment of horses and yet each owner says they love their horses but don't mind abusing them.
Machines… that says it all.
No respect for the beings that horses are.
Australian horse, Winx, had a very similar race attitude. Both liked to be at the back then climb the pack and leave them in their wake. Winx was also unbeaten ❤
Greatness❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greatness ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kidnapped for breeding like to see the DNA of upcoming horse why u buy milk wen you can buy cows aloha from Hawaii.i love whaching horse race.aloha can't wait to see the Nex..
Cloneing take away their individuality. He even said they ate differently. That sick to make believe that they are the SAME horse😢
I don't know why Americans say 'Deerby' their Derby's are all named after the English original.
The US has up to 7x's the number of racehorse deaths (including training and stalling time) than rest of the world. Average is 2000 deaths per year.
This is not beautiful. This is greed and cruelty.
There are SO many training tactics that are PUNISHING to horses. Dont believe me? Small example: Google "Racehorse tongue tie" and click on "images". This is ACCEPTABLE?
Horses dont "want to race". They race because they are trained to comply to relieve stress, pressure and pain.
No im not vegan. Im not a leftist. I just hate to see the stupidity and greed pushed onto an animal that has no business running for elite rich people until their legs break or their heart gives out.
😡horse racing is disgusting!! Abusive to animals who do not have fully developed bones. Behind the scenes is not pleasant.
Who are the host on 60 minutes. They are so bad I cant even watch the show. Who are they get someone who at least looks and sounds like they are alive.
♥♥♥
Let nature show us the way
I was going to watch – but this is from Years ago. – she was still Incredible ❤❤❤
I heard about this legendary racehorse. She was the first female to win the breeders cup classic.
❤
And BLAME showed her how to lose
10 goal players are so rare
Horses saved my young life. That was when it was affordable for the average family.
Very interesting.❤😊
Horse racing is abuse.
Back when reporting was still pretty good.
Hopefully, Zenyatta won’t end up in the slaughter pipeline like so many of the other thoroughbreds who outlive their usefulness. Let’s not forget…. “She’s done everything we asked of her.”
She didn’t win that last race, but we didn’t care. She was our favorite anyway!
❤❤❤!
Zenyadddaaaa
There's a lot of intelligence in that face.
Zenyatta……… she is one of a kind. I always feel so much love when I watch her run. Seeing Zenyatta is #1 on my bucket list. Her salute to the crowd after her 18th win is something I’ll never forget
Perhaps a body may be cloned, but I think
it’s animating soul is forever singular, unique and indivisible!
Horse racing is abuse 😢
God bless you people with such a remarkable animal.
Let’s please stop racing horses. Let’s leave this artifact in the past and appreciate her for her stunning beauty rather than what she can win for us.
Clones are subject to nature versus nurture. If raised in another environment, with other people, other food, other training techniques for other disciplines they will be genetically the same but have different behaviors and abilities.
I’ve always been a mare girl. For me, there is just nothing that compares to a good mare. Most of my friends preferred the laid back geldings. I think I’m probably too laid back for a gelding. We’re just too quiet when you put us together lol. I like a spicy mare, and the spicy mares like that I’m laid back. A good mare has so much heart, it’s truly humbling. My girl is retired in my front yard, now. Felt like we could jump the moon together. We got a lot of blue ribbons during her career ❤ I often wonder if riding a stallion is similar, but that’s not something many of us get the chance to experience in my sport (jumpers). Usually stallions are at the top barns and ridden by the top riders. I bet they have a very cool, fiery feeling.
An egg still must be fertilized. Hmmm
I’m a member of her fan club😊
She is a great ma ma passing on all her greatness to her babies now in retirement a true mate of a lifetime such a good girl loved by all ❤❤
The horse racing industry disgusts me. It's all about humans and their greed, and the horse is valued based on that. And come on, name each of your clones their own names!! Gross
