Yesterday, a rookie saddle bronc named Check Mate suffered a back injury while being ridden by Luke Morgan of Weatherford Texas. The horse was around four years old. According to Cheyenne Frontier Days officials, the horse was sedate in the arena and removed by animal ambulance. He was then euthanized by a licensed veterinarian after the extent of his injury was determined and with permission by his owner. Back in 2009, a rookie saddle bronc named Strawberry Fudge died from neck and head injuries when it fell to its side shortly after the chute opened.
