The 13-year-old gelding, who ran his last race at Wincanton in March 2007, was being transported back to his former trainer Sue Gardiner's Exeter stables after not settling at the British Horseracing School where he had been retired.

I really dont get the "suffocated after trying to climb over a petition in his horsebox."
What was the petition for?
Did he sign it?
Why was the petition in his horsebox?
What is a horsebox?
Why was he climbing it? Was he trying to escape from his horsebox?
How do you suffocate in a horsebox?
Was it the petition that suffocated the horse?

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS EVENT??

Isn't a horsebox what they call a horsetrailer/van in England? I'm guessing the petition is the divider of the stalls?
