I think Jones said something like "she willingly gave her life." Just hold on a minute there buddy. Horses don't talk.
You have the responsibility to at least get the quote correct and in context:

Quote:
"These things (the horses) are our family," a distraught Jones told the media shortly after returning to Barn 43. "They put their lives on the line and she was glad to do it."
Secondly, if you knew anything at all about horses - which it is painfully obvious you do not - yes, they love to run and are happy to do so; and their riders (Larry Jones in this case) pretty much do know exactly what the horses are feeling and thinking, and what makes them happy.
