I've not seen the wild horse races although I've heard of them.  To be honest, NONE of the animals are "willing" participants.  That is why we have to be good stewards.  Therein lies the problem; what is OK to one person isn't OK to another.

 

Are they still having the wild horse races?  I've not seen them promoted in rodeos lately.
