Cliff's Dream was killed on the 3 May 2016. His horrific treatment is the perfect example of the racing industry trying to hide the brutal reality of horse racing.
Rich owners in horse racing. Should have had the horse treated (probably a broken limb) and then given away to a caring person. Seeing that horse fighting for it's life wrenched the heart.
HE FOUGHT LIKE HE WAS IN A BATTLE - BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS!!!! THEY CAN TELL BY LOOKING AND SMELLING WHAT THEY HAD READY FOR HIM!!! SOOOOOOO PITIFUL AND SO HEARTBREAKING!!!
I don't understand why they even have these green screens, as if people aren't allowed to see what they are supporting and what they are paying for, and don't come at me with something like: "The HOrsE iS mORe ComFOrtAbLE" I mean.. Most horses are scared from those things 😒
Its so they can put the horse down in a humane way and with respect, filming the horse behind the screen is just a complete lack of respect for the horse and the jockey and trainers involved with the horse. Some times putting the horse down is the most humane thing instead of it enduring a life long of pure pain with such a low quality of life. You really don't understand any bit of the sport. Everyone who rides and trains the horses puts so much love and care into the horse to get them ready for there sport. But you in your sad world will never understand that coz you live to argue when your wrong and jump from one "cause" to another.
@@liammalone4424 ''Its so they can put the horse down in a humane way with respect'', they wouldn't have to put those horses down if they didn't race. Do you know what's more disrespectful and inhumane? Making those horses race with the chance to get hurt and killed. If they really loved their horses so much, why would they put their life in danger? ''coz you live to argue'', she's not arguing. Speaking up for the animals and arguing are two different things. You're talking bullshit like someone made the jockeys race. ''Sometimes putting the horse down is the most humane thing instead of it enduring a life long of pure pain with such a low quality of life.'' and sometime preventing the horse from all of this is more humane. The horses didn't asked to race, get injured and end up being put down. You're talking like the jockeys are so caring for their horses. But think about it - who are the ones that put their horse's life in danger?
@@liammalone4424 They put care into the horse simply so it performs better and wins them all more money. Don't talk about respect. There is zero respect for race horses from everyone involved - they are seen purely as commodities. The recent videos of trainers and jockeys sitting on the back of these poor animals after they've died shows how much love and respect they have for them. It is all animal abuse. Taking beautiful healthy horses, using and abusing them until they die horrific premature deaths.
Nah man, it's those who rape and torture babies, or their own children, those who commit war crimes, those who beat up 90-year-olds as gang initiation rites ... THEY are the most heartless bastards on earth.
@@rob171081 How do you know the horse had a great life? Heres a fact, it died because of what humans forced it to do. Here's another fact, humans are inherently selfish and greedy. The horse is used for selfish money making purposes and then killed when its injured and of no monetary value.
Not much of the world it's the owners who don't care for the race horses they only care for the damn money that the horses win cruel cruel race horse owners
He was really fighting to live... Poor lad... Absolutely terrified, before sedation and death. Not pleasant for all those involved. I wonder if any of the other horses being walked away, had a similar outcome, that day?
YES, THIS IS A HORSE THAT VALUED HIS MISERABLE LIFE AND HE - FOUGHT FOR EVERY BIT OF IT! WHAT A HERO! THEN THEY PUT HIM DOWN -- HOPEFULLY THEY WONT USE HIS STOCK THAT IS SO FILTHY!
So if a human died in the boxing ring do you expect them to broadcast the live corpse on ppv? Silly comment. Nothing to hide it would be quite obvious what happened to the horse and it would be announced by the stable.
Barriers go up so they can euthanize the horse without the public looking on. they are not trying to hide!! No one needs to see those last moments but the Vet and Groom and people helping in that wind. those fragile legs take one bad step and sometimes it just happens.
Another commenter comparing a leg injury of a horse to a leg injury of a human. Please do some research into our body science and a horses body science.. Its embarrassing
@@barneyveld6730... I'm clearly not the one who needs to do there RESEARCH🤣 !!! your pathetic treehugger!! It's TRUE most horses who have broken legs and have surgery are not really able to do anything most are lead ponies who in less than a few yrs!!! They're in so much pain from it that have to be put down anyway.. you would save them just a few more years to live in pain to live in stall for the rest of there lives never really run again??? I would much rather put the horse down then make them live in that kind of pain.. like I said go do your research on it before you open your big tree hugging mouth🖕

U do know that u do not have to watch or participate in any sport that u do not like or if you are not good enough , right? U are allowed to keep right moving until u find some u like and are comfortable with doing or watching... ACCIDENTS HAPPEN!! In every sport.!
Horse racing wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the gamblers, there’s billions being waged every year and unfortunately horses are collateral damage, dispensable by the owners if they need expensive vet care unless they’re potential top class mares or sires. Many horses are raced to the point of exhaustion with many dropping dead of heart attacks during and after races , since the start of November 2021 , eleven horses have died on English racecourses , 3 died of heart attacks and the rest were “ destroyed” because they broke bones or went lame , as an industry ,racing , especially the jumps, should be shut down as there is absolutely no justification for the pain and suffering it causes .
The gamblers aren't the only ones. Also the horse owners pushing pushing pushing for more purse money and champion status and breeding rights. They're making an investment and want to see it pay out.
Racing exists in dubai, and it’s illegal to gamble there so your statement is flawed, racing exists because it’s entertaining and there’s people throwing millions into it even if gambling was outlawed
Depends on the injury sustained too. Not every horse that falls gets put to sleep. I'm sure he damaged his leg beyond repair or hurt himself that would have left him with no quality of life once healed. They only do this if absolutely necessary
Absolutely disgusting, I am lost for words... No way to treat that beautiful horse who gave his life for sport, no sense of respect from those people dealing with this terrible situation, I really hope they lost sleep for their terrible actions on that day. R. I. P. dear cliffs dream ❤️
You are right , the only thing that spoils our beautiful planet is the human. One day I hope the human pays . There lies justice, true justice . There is but one god and she is Mother Nature. All others are impostors human apologists and exist to subjugate all other species. To die in the certainty of Mother Nature is to be reunited with Nature’s Spirits....
99.99% abuse of horses is from ordinary people around the country..horses at racing stables are loved and treated wonderfully.....if you stop racing you stop the breed......is that what you want??
That don't work with elections.. tryN to let your voice be heard will get u put in jail!! These horses are not treated badly.. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN !! Maybe not in some fairy tales.. But here in the real world, accidents happen...
Couldn’t have been saved, they did this the most humane way possible. He had a fractured knee. Even if they didn’t put him down, it would lead to years of pain and eventually damage to the other legs due to uneven weight on the legs
Have you not read a thing I have written?Unfortunately it is impossible to save as horses cannot stand around on three legs without further complications,it is wicked and a cruel fate but nonetheless has to be dealt with,racing will never stop and there will always be fatalities.
More concerned about hiding his killing than the suffering of an innocent, sentient being. No one who actually cares about, or even likes horses could be a part of this.
He fractured his knee and that either wouldn't of healed or would have caused more pain in the long run meaning he would have had to be put to sleep. Instead of prolonging his pain and suffering if he never healed, they made that choice straight away. Some horses that fall dint have this done to them, just unfortunately some do due to the injuries they sustain

@@paulrillo1229 I doubt insurance is available for broken bones for racehorses. I can see you can insure for being stolen or invovled in a trailer accident but they just too often break bones to being paid by insurance company.

The point of the green screen is to prevent certain people from seeing potentially traumatic things (exposed bone, blood, death, ect). You see the very same thing with car accidents on the highway.
It's upsetting but the horses like doing it even when the jockeys fall thr amount of horses that carry on running they clearly enjoy it yes it's sad when one dies but if the horses didnt like it they wouldnt be in it and yes I di know thay as a fact because my mum is a horse trainer and my uncle has a racing horse and the horse really enjoys racing even if they jockey falls every time it will carry on running
@@JR-is8cy never heard so much rubbish in my life! Horses run when the jockeys fall off because the are herd animals. No horse enjoys being kicked and whipped to go faster. It's idiotic views like yours that keep this animal abuse going.
That was so ruthless of them! How would u feel if that was u! Taking a horses life because they fell is so wrong. If the jockey and the horse is fine, why kill the horse? Either way he is racing in the clouds with other horses. He has a beautiful soul that will never be unnoticed. Rest In Peace! 🕊
If they break or damage there legs and other important things chances are they will be euthanised or the vet bill is outrageously overpriced. A lot of horses dont make it through injury either, but humans can. So whats youre saying comparing them is not very accurate, but yes, rest in peace cliff’s angel 💗
I see some comments mentioning a fractured knee and many saying "It didnt deserve it" I gonna guess many arent horse-owners in here and just thinks "Animal should survive". The dark truth about horses is that if their legs get injured, you more then often put them down If they injure their legs, it cant be healed or fixed. They need to use all 4 legs so imagine the pain and not being able ot treat it Trust that when a horse injures its legs, its more of a mercy to let them sleep in and not existing just to stand around in pain
Sometimes there’s no choice if they’re in extreme conditions that can’t be fixed it the best choice instead of them having to be in pain but sometimes there is no need and they could be treated and live a happy life over time
@@jakreu Ok! But I see no broken leg in this Video. He stand's on his backlegs and punches with the frontlegs befor they came with the green Wall. I don't think that this is possible if there were a broken leg. Maybe the Horse is hurt Inside in don't know. But It run's, can stand and increases......I don't know. It seems to be wrong. Any "Sport" that poses an increased risk to horses or dogs should be prohibited.
@@frankie626 ''It's the best choice instead of them having to be in pain'' the BEST choice is NOT to race. That way you wouldn't have to kill the horse and you prevent getting it seriously injured.
For those wondering, this horse fractured his knee. He was put to slew because the chances of him making a full recovery wouldn’t been pretty slim, and if he would’ve recovered he would’ve ended up a field ornament and probably constantly in pain. The kindest thing to do was put him to sleep
Accidents happen... It's a sad fact, but people want to act like these horses would live forever if not for a sport.. Horses are born to run .. Accidents happen..

unfortunately leg breaks in horses are those types of injuries that result in euthanasia. he fractured his knee, although there was a small possibility to surgically repair it (not many breaks can be fixed at all) it would still cause major problems down the line. it’s a very upsetting thing to happen and we all wish there was a way to fix it instead of letting it to rest. it could happen to any horse anywhere, it’s heartbreaking
If they must keep horse racing around, give the poor creatures a chance to live. If they are gonna not avoid accidents, they need to either ban racing or invent something to help the broken legs and avoid death.
A knee fracture is a very serious injury especially when it's caused by a rotational fall, as it appears this one was. Usually not a surgically correctable injury. Far kinder to euthanize the horse where it stands rather than prolong its suffering.
@@gazehoundgal You have no idea how much it hurts me to say a horse must be put down but in this case, he was struggling to live and didn't seem like he was in much pain. Couldn't they really do sth about a knee fracture? In his case I can't help but think the jocky was disappointed in his horse and had him put down.
So....I have owned and trained and loved a lot of horses for over 30 years....this vet and "the help" pulled the broken leg all the way back, to get the horse to lean down to give him a lethal dose and euthanize him. Horses cannot live on 3 legs like dogs. Its not possible ( too long to text why) but this horse did not deserve its last memory to be of even more severe pain...he was truly fighting to live...senseless and heart wrenching.
I'd just like to state that if a horse takes a heavy fall like that involving the knees, the chances of there being serious injury or permemnt disability are high.. If its a serious one it will be physically evident and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a vet to take a decision at the racecourse to have a horse euthanized as a result.. The reason they are trying to sit the horse down is because its distressed, in pain and trying to kick up which would cause even further pain for the horse.. Horses are units, they are very heavy and awkward to handle when in distress so the images of the men trying to sit the horse down looks rough and ready but you can see they are all trying their hardest to settle cliffs dream and do what's right for the horse...
Doing what's right? Are you kidding? They were much more concerned with hiding what they are doing. If you're doing what's right, you don't try so hard to hide it.
@@reidchambers2521 horses are not humans, they are built different, do some research into leg injuries and knee injuries in horses compared to humans.. The effects are drastically different.. The screens don't go up to conceal any wrong doing,they go up because not everyone wants to see a horse being euthanized like that. It's a horrible incident for everyone involved.. Not enough commenters do any sort of research into how a horse is built and how injuries can affect them...
Some clueless blinkered people on here don’t have a clue…maybe look into why horses get put down in upsetting circumstances such as this maybe you’ll understand.

@🤘WASP Bitch🤘 a horse can break its leg at home and the same will happen. If a horse breaks its leg, they are put down as a horse cannot survive on 3 legs
@@millyscothern9270 I KNOW that. I'm a former vet tech not an imbecile! But if you look at instances where injuries happen to a horse in it's pasture requiring euthanazation & compare them to track induced injury requiring euthanasia the numbers are WAY HIGHER on the racing industry's side.💔🤘

to me he didn’t look like he was injured to that extent, i think some of the vets at these races just do it as it’s easier than saving them , its time they tried to save them not euthanise them, it’s different if they brake the neck but most other can be fixed, they just dont want to spend the money to do it, even though the horse earned them plenty of money, tight fisted people

As nice as an idea that'd be, it's unrealistic. Most injuries sustained in horse racing are broken legs, most of which fail to heal properly...these horse would either have to live a life of pain, or have the leg amputated. Both of which are inhumane. Sure, you keep the horse on pain killers, but you'll never truly rid the animal of pain (they are prey animals, and are known to hide pain). Plus over use on a poorly healed leg will not last long, eventually leading to more damage and pain for the horse. Amputation, can get rid of the pain, but horses cannot live on three legs. Their body weight and poor weight distribution makes it a bad idea...if done, the added weight pressure on the other three legs will eventually lead them to deteriorate, resulting in the initial problem of pain. Hence, euthanasia in these cases is the best option for these horses...if we could rehabilitate these horses to do work like you suggest, I'd be all for it. Alas, it's not feasible to justify in regard to horse welfare. But the better option overall, would be to ban all horse racing events! That way we wouldn't have these issues arising in the first place...but banning horse racing just isn't going happen anytime soon. The best we can do is to try and make the sport as humane as possible

These horses would never have come into this world but for the horserace industry. They are swooned over, admired, and called beautiful because of their athleticism and records on the track. So the very thing that arguably has led to their demise (heart attack, severe joint injury, etc) is also the thing that gets them noticed and acclaimed. And you never know: even the family horse whiling away its hours in the pasture and occasionally ridden, can suffer a fate like this.
what a load of bollox - you think the horse doesn't mind being traumatised then shot in the head and killed because some overweight landlords in tweed jackets "swooned over and admired" them? Christ almighty
@@brendanpower2296 - Your words, not mine. I didn't say anything about how a racehorse feels; not my point. My point is that the strenuous training and racing of these animals makes it inevitable that some will succumb to injury or premature death. This horse stumbled and suffered a catastrophic injury. That's not to say the family horse wouldn't suffer such an injury. Or that maybe racehorses are more durable because their muscular legs give them extra protection. But on the whole, I think the rigors of training and racing put them at greater risk.
Right, here's the thing YES this video looks horrific, BUT he has a broken leg, he is in pain hence the rearing ffs I was screaming when I fell sideways off a step and torn tendons in my knee!..BUT the thing is with horses, it is EXTREMELY unkind to try and fix a broken leg, they can't stand still for the amount of time required to heal, they can't lie down, because they cannot get back up, you have to suspend them in a sling for THREE MONTHS, which puts pressure on the gut and the heart, being PTS IS the kindest option...pick your battles people
Not always true. My QH broke his near hind leg in 2 places in a paddock injury. I confined him in a makeshift hospital in his paddock, changed his bandages every 3hrs round the clock, slept next to him on a camping cot and got him through it. In 4 months we cantered for the 1st time with no lameness at all. He was lucky enough that I had 15k to spend on his treatment and the time to spend tending to him 24/7. If there’s enough money and dedication and in break isn’t too severe a horse can be mended.
dream alliance was saved by the jockey telling the vets that the owners wouldn't like it if they put the horse down. he lived and later retired. all depends on how bad the injury is but it seems vets are too quick to put a horse down when it could be saved
It does indeed depend on the type of break in the bone & where it is. It's because the good leg becomes compromised half way through the horses recovery from having to bear so much weight on it while the break in the other leg is healing & develops a chronic inflammatory condition that makes the vets preemptively euthanise a horse. The vets want to save the horse having to endure the excruciating pain
Horse racing like any other sport has its dark sides . Having to put down broken up horses is part of it. Some horses die in training, some don't make it to the racetrack and are sent to the knackered to make up for room. Most retired racehorse who are just way to many to find a new home become part of your pet's food. That 's the world we live in. There' s not enough space for everyone, there's not enough financial means to go around. End of. If you have a heart for horses, then why don't you have a heart too for stocks and poultry? They live too, they known the meaning of fear, of pain and misery we are responsible for. Get a grip!!. One more thing, it's in the horse's interest to put a screen so you don't have to force a horse with a fractured leg to move a place where crowds can see him from. For those who don't known I worked as a stable lad for nearly twenty years and worked as a racing photographer for another 17 seasons. I ve seen my fair share of casualties. and I known just how it feel to go and pick up your runner knowing he 's gonna be shot down in a few minutes times.. Before they pass away, they just rear up for the last t time . It' s not a funny sight at all. It's just the dark side of racing. Everything has a dark side.
Wow never saw something so BAD I mean he didn't have to be killed he may have been sent to a new loving home why can't this stop this isn't a sport racing isn't a sport this is just so sad...

sometimes it’s better to put a horse down for an injury like this, even if they were able to surgically fix it the complications down the line would be so serious due to weight bearing issues the outcome would be the same except the horse had to live even longer in pain. it’s unfortunate but it doesn’t just happen because they are race horses, it can happen to show jumpers, it can happen to horses running around paddocks. it doesn’t take away from how sad it is but the vet assessed and made the right choice

He very definitely shattered his knee. You could see it go backwards when he stood up and he didn't put weight on it but stood in a sawhorse stance to keep his weight on his back legs when he was over by the fence. When horses are jazzed up from pain and fear, sedation often does not work well, and I saw the handler supporting his left leg to keep it from causing worse pain. That is also why they were trying to have him lie down--to limit the pain and get him under control. The green screens are to give quiet and privacy in that most trying and sad event, not to hide what they had to do, although that is also appropriate, as it is a sad thing for them all and should be allowed to be private. There was no bullying, just a trying situation being handled as best they could, so get off your damned high and mightily ignorant egos.
So the horse choose to be a horse race and then end up like this for the sake of people making lots of money out of it. He choose to die by stupidity of humans who are rich after him and live a long happy healthy life because of this. Yes, good for well intended humans to put this poor horse out of his misery and choose not to show anything through the green screens being there just to give quiet and privacy to the horse, even after he was already being killed. But I'm a good person. just like you, with no damned high or mightily ignorant ego and I only wish that people have the same heart to do the same to whoever approves of this to be the right way of dealing with living beings.
Horses have no concept of "privacy" and tarps held up on poles are not going to "provide quiet" What nonsense. This horse was in extreme pain. He was being injected with some drug, to end his life. He was not thinking about some need for "privacy". The purpose of the screens is to block the view of the paying public. These workers noticed that someone was making a video, from one side, and they moved quickly to block the camera view of that person. They were engaged in the final phase of the killing of a horse and they wanted to pretend something better, to avoid any loss of racing revenue.
Horses not only break bones on a racecourse but out in the field or native pony's on the moors or forests, is Dartmoor, Exmoor, New forest pony's, free running ponies may not be found immediately, majority of these ponies injuries are caused by car driver's! My horse fractured it's pelvis in the field some time between 15.00-17.00 hrs, seen by the vet by 18.00 and diagnosed, she had to have a month tied in stable then 6 months in a barn, 20ft X 20ft, she was fairly placid temperament, so her mind was reasonable ok but she lost a lot of muscle tone and looked like crap when she was eventually given the ok to Go out in an enclosed area, doped to avoid any running around! It is now 19 months since the injury, and I have only just sat on her, she is sound but feels tight in her back, due to the fact that the pelvis is a circular structure as opposed to a straight and it is sorounded by muscle that is the only reason she is still alive, have to say there have been many times over this time that I wondered if she be better uthanised
A horse being euthanized is bad..very bad... and upsetting.. Unnecessary to see the horse die if it can be helped so the green tapes are very necessary. The vets made the call that the injury is too severe to be recovered from without immense pain for the horse in the meantime.. You have to have the faith in the vet making the call as you would a doctor making a call in the hospital.. They know their shit and you have to respect that and why would a RU-vidr come on here and question that decision? Lol
Often the only humane option after a horse breaks its leg is to euthanize it. This is because horses have heavy bodies and delicate legs, broken leg bones are usually shattered making surgery and recovery impossible.
So glad they have the green screens, no one has any idea how much that poor horse suffered. Well, except for the people with a shred of intelligence and the tiniest bit of compassion. Those people know exactly how much that poor horse suffered. But the rest of the morons who think horse racing is fine, they are happy with this. If something is regularly injuring horses so horrifically it has to be hidden so as not to offend people, it needs to just stop.
They're bred into this world with the utmost respect and love to be proffesional race horses.. These aren't wild horses that owners pluck from farm fields and punish.. They're looked after and assessed by proffesional vets and they are the people who make these calls. It is a legal requirement for racecourses which hold these events to have a competent and certified vet at any race meeting. Therefore you have to put your faith in THEIR decision.. Only the people who don't understand how the sport works come on these videos and troll them.. Its a terribly sad time when a horse passes away doing this sport, everyone involved from the real fans to the stable staff build up affinities with these horses as they would fellow humans and sometimes the love runs even deeper than that.. The sport as a whole is tarnished by misinformation and misunderstanding.. Its a shame more can't understand the racing world.. Its an amazing world to be apart of.. the horses really are more wonderful than any human I could ever think of
