The Grand National

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Fuck me! That's him! That's him!! :shock:


But back to reality. Just found out they actually killed the horse I bet on afterwards. I mean fair enough he was shit but that was a bit of an over reaction I think. :shock: :lol:

I think they should have a huge banquet and eat the horses that get killed. I've had horse steak years ago on a trip to the czech republic and it aint bad. Tastes a bit like chicken :wink: :lol:

Sad news today of the death of Great Endeavour. Was found with a broken leg after spending the night in a field. Shocked? Well you shouldn't be, this shit happens all the time when the TV cameras aren't around but I guess there will be no bleeding hearts wanting the banning of putting horses in felds.

Dont get me wrong i bet on the national, eat meat and dont have pets and dont have many feelings for animals (even though i wouldnt hurt one myself) but putting a horse in a field and it breaks its leg in an unlucky accident is different than forcing forty horses to jump forty 7 foot fences to entertain human beings..... Just an observation :?

Flash, with regards to the word "forcing", Synchronised fell but the horse ran on and jumped a number of fences riderless before falling a second time and suffering the injury that led to his death. No disresrect but that reminds me of one of the comments left on the Daily Mail website ( :roll: I know) after they ran some sensational story about the Grand National, some idiot claimed that Synchronised tried to "get away" after throwing AP off :roll:

One of the very first times I sat on a horse it took off down a country lane with me hanging on for dear life. At the end of that lane was a gate, you know what happened? The horse jumped it perfectly but I went out the side door as ungracefully as you could imagine :oops: Horses jump things and they enjoy doing it.
