A rodeo in Manitoba is amending its rulebook after a horse broke a back leg and was euthanized by a veterinarian who was not officially on call.
A horse taking part in the bronc riding event at the Triple S Fair & Rodeo in Selkirk MB fell to the ground with a broken leg just seconds after leaving the gate.
"Only a licensed vet can carry that," said Airth, who said he can't comment on how the horse was euthanized. The City of Selkirk said Triple S has a 99-year lease on its fairgrounds at Selkirk Park and does not have to obtain any municipal permits. As an independent, amateur event, Triple S is also not required to follow rules of a rodeo association.
Former Canadian Veterinary Medicine Association president Dr. Chris Bell said horses that break a long leg bone are euthanized more often than not. "Even with infinite monetary and technical abilities," said Bell, "Barbaro still ended up succumbing to that injury." The CPRA told CBC it tracks animal fatalities at rodeos across Canada, but would not share that data for this story.
