Default happened again, horse hit and killed on Versailles Rd.

the streets of Kentucky are not safe for roaming ponies

seriously though, I'm amazed that more horses are not hit by cars around here....so many are housed outside all the time along major roadways with minimal fencing.

that road is a 4 lane highway....near Keeneland it is 6 lanes. One does not expect to see a horse on it.... I would say that the human error here is the person who either didn't maintain the fencing or somehow let them out of a barn, not the driver of the vehicle.

That's who I was talking about. The owners should be more careful with their horses/animals.

The only farm I know of "close to Keeneland on Versailles Rd" is Calumet. We know their story...
