Racehorses electrocuted through grass, Meeting abandoned
This meeting was being covered live on TV when 2 horses dropped dead and others suffered electric shock and scorching.

"Paul Barber, owner of Denman, said: "The girl leading Marching Song said she felt a tingling as she led the horse round - and then Kid Cassidy went down.
"They were getting shocks off the grass, not off the tarmac. I've never seen anything like it."
Residents in the area said a local farmer has lost a number of livestock from underground electric currents.
Newbury chairman Christopher Spence said: "It's a nightmare for everybody. We can't be certain what caused it. We think it's electric."

"We've looked at the cables and couldn't see any damage, and no work has been carried out on the paddock since the last meeting."

Very odd. I think they are saying it was the horses with steel shoes that were affected. They were in the paddock, so being led round.

I was interested in the farmer whohad lost livestock the same way. Where they wearing steel shoes? How does electricity pass through feet of soil? Does soil, mud, rock and grass conduct electricity?

Newbury Racecourse's managing director Stephen Higgins told Sky News: "We've had the local electricity board here establishing whether there is a cable there and whether it’s been disturbed, if there is a cable there it’s been dormant for more than 30 years and we need to establish those facts."

Jonjo O'Neill, trainer of Fenix Two, was quoted as saying: "It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life."
Thady Voorspuy was one of those near the parade ring at the time:"I saw it happen it wasn’t a pretty sight to be honest and I’m a qualified vet and have seen a lot of horses die in my time, but it was a very strange sight."

I don't believe a word of it that it was electric, most of you are taking the crap from Useless sky news and the even more ridiculous BBC (THE BRITISH BRAINWASHING CORPORATION)
i GUESS IF ITS ON THE CRAP SKYNEWS AND THE EVEN CRAPPIER BBC THEN IT MUST BE TRUE. NOT ? You people believe anything you see and hear on these so called news broadcasters muppets.

Re: Racehorses electrocuted through grass, Meeting abandoned
people, with the advent of betting exchanges the amount of fixed horse races is increasing to such huge levels that it would not surprise me if it was a betting sting gone wrong.

stories that the stable lads were getting electric shocks when unsaddling the horses are also widespread.

it was electricity, but i would go for betting sting rather than doom .... at the moment ....

Re: Racehorses electrocuted through grass, Meeting abandoned
So where can I get this new batch of 'electric grass' then? Powerful stuff!

Unless lightning was involved or an underground faulty cable, it must've been an electrical discharge via an 'earth' rod nearby, maybe in someone's home or factory/small business, where a 'live' connection must've earthed, but didn't have RCD protection. Everyone ought to invest in RCD's.

It is most likely the water in the soil and grass that is carrying a current.

Underground cables are earthed, guess what to?
The dirt!
Even if you wear shoes with metal soles, it wouldn't affect you but you might get a tingle.
But horses have metal shoes nailed onto their feet with metal nails!

The magnetic poles of the earth will split into multiple poles later this year causing chaos in all forms of electromagnetic devices. Toroid energy fields will develop impacting human and animal brain functions enough to cause internal thinking disruptions and cognitive impairment. The appearance of the Toroid energy fields will mark the point of no-return. The growing sink hole problems will go amok consuming large buildings, entire lakes and rivers will be swallowed. 2011 will be the peak year for floods. The forecasted atmospheric rivers (prior ALTA reports) are now being discussed in the MSN.

I am a licensed electrician, among many other things, and have been awaiting stories to begin just like this one.

Trying to keep this simple,....

This planet DOES reverse pole every so often. Like a permanent magnet that isn't. With each swapping of pole cycles, electricity is discharged from the base. If the planet was used as GROUND, the common bleed off of stray voltage(is and has) it can begin to bleed that back OUTWARD if a reversal of the system occurs.

I've been discussing this exact phenomena with a few family members as a concern that most will not readily know or understand, being an electrician. Most I have discussed it will not be able to grasp the severity as I've already witnessed.

We quite possibly saw the beginning process with the smaller animals getting caught in these field reversal spurts end of last year and beginning of this year(birds & fishes). This will eventually affect the larger animals if the conditions are good enough.

Water/moisture in the air assists the conductivity process, as would the horseshoes on the wet grass as well.

This would be seen in the beginning phases of an electrical issue, and will continue to increase as the error/issue remains eventually causing a massive kill off of biblical proportions for all life. All that is needed is the right conditions to settle in and this isn't an IF, as much as it is a WHEN.

No plants or animals, no life that conducts electricity will be immune from this process,..... NONE.
