Palio di Siena on 2 July: three horses injured and withdrawn from the race, while La7 incites whipping of horses
03/07/2022
- In the trials that preceded the palio on 2 July, two horses were injured and the vets decided to exclude them from the race as a precaution. Vankook fell on a bend: although he got up, the vets later deemed him unfit to run. The mare Schietta, who was to run for the contrada dell'Istrice, crippled a hind leg and was also excluded from the race. ournalist Guy Chiappaventi explains: 'The jockeys of the palio ride without a saddle, with an ox's backbone in their hands to whip their own horses but also those of others, and their adversaries, paid like rock stars: winning a palio can cost the contrada hundreds of thousands of euro'.

On the basis of this report, the Minister decided to issue a regulation on PMSG production, which will stipulate what conditions the activity must meet and that the activity is subject to a license. Under these conditions, blood farming is allowed to continue for another three years but will be under increased monitoring.

Dead horses in Volterra, IHP opposes the dismissal of the case
31/05/2022
- IHP, through its attorneys, filed a motion to oppose the request to dismiss the investigation into the death of 19 horses made by the Pisa Public Prosecutor's Office. Between January 2019 and for the following two years at the Tenuta di Tignano, near Volterra, where the association had just moved at the time, a case occurred that has never been equalled in Italy and perhaps in the world: 19 horses, in good health, died suddenly and in the space of a few minutes, after collapsing while they were grazing.
