I just saw a show about wild horses on BBC the other day. I think people should just leave them alone. They should not be corralled and then sold/autioned off. Horses are beautiful and smart creatures and we should be protecting them, just like all the other animals on earth.

I wish they'd leave wild animals alone. Instead of selling these horses to perhaps keep herd numbers down, the land management folks ought to request government to provide more acreage so as to give the horses more room. And if they're selling them for ANY other reason, shame on the wranglers, auctioneers, buyers, and onlookers. I am sorry the gentleman was injured, but I'm even more sorry for the terror and anguish of capture that the horse must have felt in his broken heart. GG
