This is Bad


21 horses died today, shortly before their polo match in Wellington, FL..

Polo horses are not easy to train due to the constant directional changes as well as the fact horses rather not run into each other. A good polo horse will run you about $250,000 so losing a $250,000 horse that acted like a dog is a terrible loss.

As of now it is unclear what killed the 21 horses belonging to the Venezuelan-owned team Lechuza Polo. The Lechuza are considered the New York Yankees of Polo and were the favorites to win the U.S. Open polo match. I have always wondered what would happen to baseball is the Yankees lost half of their players in a tragic accident. Now I have an idea.

RIP Horses

Update: the pharmacy did it.
