Rejected petition Stop the barbaric practice of getting horses to jump fences in horse racing.

This year's (2019) Grand National, 3 horses were destroyed and several suffered severe cuts when they fell after the jumps. I am petitioning to have all jumps and obsticles banned from all horse racing events.

More details

There are videos showing the riders clearly wipping the poor horse when you can clearly see it has broken both front legs. This is 100% animal cruelty.
