We live in Wellington, Florida which is heavily involved in the equestrian community. This has been a big story for the past few days in South Florida. I hope something is learned as a result of this tragedy.

(UPI) - A pharmacy in Ocala, Fla., said Thursday it brought about the deaths of 21 Venezuelan polo horses by incorrectly preparing medication given to the animals.
Franck's Pharmacy said in a statement that the strength of one of the ingredients in the medication prepared by company employees was incorrect, CNN said.
"We extend our most sincere condolences to the horses' owners, the Lechuza Polo team and the members of the United States Polo Association. We share their grief and sadness," said Jennifer Beckett, chief operations officer of the pharmacy.
The company said it would fully cooperate with authorities in the investigation into the horses' deaths last weekend.
The Palm Beach Post said the horses of the Lechuza Caracas polo team were stricken at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Fla.
