Teen Accused of Stabbing Horses at Vegas Event

A shocking incident erupted at a Vegas barrel racing event when a 17-year-old competitor allegedly stabbed three horses with a pocketknife, sparking a dozen charges including animal torture and property damage. Though the horses’ injuries aren’t fatal, they’ll be sidelined for recovery — a blow to owners and the competition. Riders described horrific scenes, including horses bleeding from multiple wounds, and the hotel called it unprecedented in its 20-year history of hosting equestrian events. Authorities are investigating what could have driven such an act — and whether it’s connected to the high-stakes, high-pressure world of the sport.
