Bud white was a beautiful horse and bud white will always be in my heart and never leave my beautiful baby I'm the owner of bud white I love you bud white and rest in peace is time to say goodbye
And who should believe the crap you write there? I would never put my horse in such danger of breaking a leg for any money in the world. So stop it I definitely don't believe your blabla .you make it for the Money
I wish they would push ages of these horses back till they have developed. that included all breeds. I think you wouldn't see half the injury you see. that a dead horse. they put him down.
He was 5 years old. He was a very popular race horse. He did eventually die. Thoroughbreds are very difficult to adjust to treatment of this kind of injury.
@@Anastasia2048 It isn't a "death sentence" as long as the leg isn't hanging off! Sure whoever is looking after the horse has to deal with 1 year+ of box rest, hand walking and walking under saddle. Sadly that can change any horse's mental state but it can be done and they can still showjump event maybe race once it's calcified but there can be amazing end results, not most but some get a new chance at retraining some sadly never fully heal it is 50:50 but if you believe and push the blood and tears away you will have been through an unbreakable bond. (Not having a go just want people to see not every horse with a serious injury has to die I know that personally hope this helps in some way to some person out there) 😊😆☺
@@chloelonsdale8519 A horse could get better maybe if it's a hairline fracture, but a fully broken leg, No. You have to understand horses are over 1,000lbs animals that need to be on all 4 feet constantly to be healthy and happy. About 80% of horses weight is in their front end. That's a lot of weight for 2 tiny legs. You think the horse isn't gonna go absolutely insane being locked up for a whole year in a box? It's already enough stress for people in the hospital, but probably even more so for the horse, since they don't understand what's going on and they just want to be a horse. I honestly believe even if they were able to "heal" after a year in the box, it wouldn't be the same and their lives would be compermised.
Bud White was in very good racing condition, he was not 'skinny'- he had muscle. Bud White was an athlete, and he was well taken care of. The track was Ellis Thomas Downs.
I'm all in for letting a horse run but what they do to these poor thoroughbreds on the tack is terrible. I agree with everyone that racing should be banned or at the very minimum have stronger regulations with harsher punishments for the owners.
@@tamirbrowne3826 well in most cases it is the owner’s fault; sometimes owners will let an injured horse run in races- for instance like Ruffian she had sprang in her I think right hind leg- she broke down in the match race against Foolish Pleasure. Owners of these beautiful creatures need to understand they are not supposed to be used for money and gambling. These creatures were here wayyyy before us humans and we all need to respect them.
Horse Racing will never be banned. Weathy people, really weathy people are what own this industry, and they control it. I wonder how many of them ever see one of their horses unless it's in the winners circle.
Depends entirely on the owner. There are owners who view the horses purely as a money making venture. There are other owners, including some very wealthy ones, who dote on their horses. Penny Chenery visited Riva Ridge and Secretariat throughout their lives. Zenyatta's owners, the Mosses, love her dearly and see her regularly in her retirement. Barbaro's owners, the Jacksons, were not interested in saving the injured colt for stud duty, they simply wanted to save him. I have heard of owners of geldings going to great expense to try to save their horse. There are other owners, and I will not name them, whom I very much doubt have any real emotional attachment to their horses.
+horselover Bud White tore ligaments in his left front leg and was taken to a vet where it was splinted. It was hoped he would heal and go on to live in a pasture but he tried to stand up too soon after the injury and actually ended up breaking the leg and was put down :/
oh my god what stupid people oh that horse has broke his leg, yes that poor horse nobody tried to a fucking thing about it i would of had tears witnessing that poor horse.
It's quite a small track, it looks like it's about 1/2 mile. 1 mile is a pretty standard distance for racing, so I think they had them go around twice because the track is smaller.
xX JumpingForJoy Xx so if it's banned, what will happen to the millions of racehorses, broodmares and studs? These horses are worth thousands and what would happen if they no longer needed/make profit? It's off to the slaughter houses for them. You idiotic bleeding hearts have already caused countless suffering and cruelty by "banning" slaughter, where will you stop?
There is abuse in the horse racing industry, and too many break down, and too many go to slaughter prematurely. But you are VERY much mistaken if you are suggesting most of them end up dead from racing or from slaughter. The vast majority, at least in the U.S., retire alive and reasonably sound. The valuable ones are used for breeding; and even most of the obscure, inexpensive TBs will escape slaughter and find new homes. I have close friends who for 15+ years raced a small string, including some home-breds from their one inexpensive broodmare. I cannot tell you what happened to all the horses who passed through their hands, but I can tell you exactly what happened to each of their home-breds, and to their dam. My friends kept the broodmare until she was euthanized for a severe dental infection which medical treatment failed to cure. One of her gelding sons was sold after his retirement as a hunter prospect; he later died of colic. One of her daughters is a broodmare of high-ranking Western performance horses out in the Midwest. Another daughter was euthanized at 3 -- not for an injury, but for EPM, a parasite-caused neurological disease which left the filly barely able to stand, even after two expensive courses of medical treatment. The decision to put down such a young horse was wrenching for my friends. (A vet tech I know also lost a horse to EPM.) One gelding was sold, raced pretty successfully in the allowance ranks for his new owners, and is currently in a rescue organization manned by prison inmates. My friends visit the horse a few times a year; the wife was thrilled to find him, and in tears when she first saw him again. Their final home-bred was a still-born colt. My friends raced their next-to-last home-bred, a lovely and personable chestnut mare. Twelve years old now, she is their cherished pleasure horse and an occasional low-level dressage competitor. She has never been bred; they keep her as an expensive pet, essentially. She is as well-loved as my cats and dogs have been, and visited almost daily now that both husband and wife are retired. My friends also kept after his retirement from the track a grey gelding whom they had purchased and raced. He, too, was well-loved. He was put down in his mid-teens after being found in the field one night, unable to get up. He died with his head in the lap of the wife. These were all "cheap" horses, not especially well bred, and undistinguished on the track. My friends have a friend who has also owned racers. That man keeps some of the retired ones on his own property. After the embarrassment years ago when two champion-caliber Thoroughbreds went to slaughter overseas (Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand, who died in Japan in 2002, and Exceller, who beat two Triple Crown winners, and died in Sweden in 1997) the Thoroughbred industry has greatly increased its efforts in rescue/rehoming of off-the-track Thoroughbreds.
Interesting to see that even without whips a break is still likely - something to bring up and use as reference footage for all of those idiots who say UK racing is better with its rules and regulations. All racing is bad and results in early death and injury.
People that can't properly handle a horse with a broken leg.Great for horse racing.

That horse does not look like it has been fed properly

When a horse breaks its leg, it usually looks down the barrel of a gun soon after :/
They don't use guns to put horses down anymore they use a sedative to put the horse to sleep permantly
It’s a shame the horse died it was beautiful

not the owners fault it’s the track they don’t take care of it several horses broke their foot on that track

What a shameless sport! What a bunch of idiots. That poor horse.The horrible pain it must have been in.
I think this track, in the British Virgin Islands, has been demolished.
Look at the garbage just dumped in the background at :43. WTF. Real classy.
You'll find that in any country predominantly run by monkeys
Is it Virgin island?

This is just another reason I hate racing...horses are disposable to them and melbourne cup or any other race is exactly the same
this horse is skinny
its athoughro bread their bodies are built like that
