There’s two of them! Two village idiots.
And there’s the illegal Mexican.
People who are transporting animals should slow down and be more careful….
Slow down please ???
Sheryl, people hauling animals usually do drive slower. They have expensive animals in that trailer behind them. Don’t point fingers at something until you know facts. People like you speak out only when things like this happen & you don’t know what really lead upto the accident. Don’t- just dont!!! Those people are probably devastated!!! Horses are more than pets!!!

Our animal friends are a gift to be highly valued. All of us should do our best to care for them.
Dr Haysoos is my go to guy for large animal veterinary care.
People always hauling horses around like they’re dirt bikes. Shame
Horses are Way Less irritating than liberal women but horses DO kiss funny.
Don’t worry, the liberals are out there fighting for your horses to have rights.
