That scared him over the rail.

Obviously I know nothing about training horses but umm you don't use a whip at all?

I mean he did tell Julien not to use it, right?

Hope the horse will be okay...
Me too..

“He’s very lame," McPeek said. "He’s wracked up pretty good behind. It’s career threatening and maybe, possibly, life-threatening. If he broke or chipped his pelvis, or has a compound fracture or stress fracture, they’ll have to put him down more than likely. But if it’s all muscle, we’ll be real lucky. We’ll have to see what happens.”
