physical demands of the cross country course extremely high, the risk is
also high.
I'd say the death rate is much higher simply among 2 year old horses
racing on the flat if that's how you want to keep score. I saw 3 horses
break legs in one evening at a track.
Personally, I think the toughest sport is the one the horse is trying to
compete in, but isn't physically or mentally suited for. A heavy muscled
horse being made to do endurance...a lanky horse trying to do
reining...me trying to run a marathon... Dressage would be very hard for
Kaboot mentally, 100 miles in the heat might be much harder for a big
warmblood though.
