This is indefensible. The idea of running a horse that is so sick he collapses in the gate turns my stomach. So much rhetoric has been spewed as to the superb "care" the sheiks' horses receive. This travesty reveals something entirely different. If those morons will treat Premium Tap this way, it's no wonder many horses aren't heard from again once they disappear into the desert.
