I don’t know but I’ve been told
If the horse don’t pull - you have to carry the load
If the horse had just been gelded, perhaps its suicide.

If mane/tail/& lower legs were black-—that would be called a BAY by most horse owners. I have owned 6 horses in my lifetime that were BAY.
Collecting sperm & then castrating him doesn’t make sense.
IF he is a worthwhile runner-—his sperm can make alot of money.
IF he was too much to handle—then possibly geld him.
John Henry—a thoroughbred—was gelded early because he was such a temperamental horse to handle. ONLY one groom took care of him. He raced long after most of his breed are retired to stud & he did make alot of $$$$$$.
Then there was CIGAR——a well bred stallion who should have been used heavily as a stud——Turned out he was STERILE.
Believe it or not-—there actually is insurance for that problem-—and the owners collected.
There are many causes for colic...

Horse committed suicide when it looked around and saw part of the left hind leg was - dare I say it - white.
(And yes, I know the proper name for the white area on that horse is “sock”, but I was afriad I might confuse the city folk on here).
LOL.
It's a familiar theme.
"Hello. I'm Mr. Dead."
The horse kept whinnying that he couldn’t breathe.
But in this case the owners have the race card to stop any investigation unfavorable to them.
Alydar thanks you for remembering.
Of course, we can’t blame Senator John Edward’s baby momma’s father for this one. He died in 1990. But Rielle’s horse was 8 years dead by that point. (As were some others).
That coloration of some shade of brown with a black mane & tail is called a “bay”. A “chestnut” has a mane/tail that is the same color as the body or lighter.
The ‘brown’ of a bay can have many shades - I had a bay mare whose coat, while brown, had copper highlights. Her son had a very rich brown coat with no highlights and a horse I was showing for someone had a very dark coat, seal brown which is almost black, with dapples. All had black manes/tails.
I had horses for 40 years - just adding more detail to the BLM color description :-)
lol! —>”Hay”!
Ha ha! I need to watch that show! I just barely missed that era.
[...unresponsive and lying still...]
If I woke to find someone had cut my balls off that would pretty much be what I would be doing.
Yeah right- the horse committed suicide because it hated it’s stupid name
I heard it really was a zebra.
Paging Attorney General Garland. Something fishy with this horsy. Maybe monkeypox.
