Sometimes we have to wonder what crosses people's minds. The team favored to win at the pinnacle of competition in polo, Lechuza Polo from Venezuela, had not just one but 21 horses collapse and die as they were unloaded from trailers at Wellington Florida's polo club. Thoroughbreds are often used in the sport. Although the team is owned by a Venezuelan businessman most of the horses and players are from Argentina. This isn't a case of just going out and buying a couple dozen more horses. The team has 60 horses, and all who got sick died.

I understand this is strictly racing but Thoroughbreds are used heavily in the sport, many that are didn't have the heart or talent for the track find a calling in this sport. The horse dances off
