Willy De Houelle (FR) killed on first day of the Grand National Meeting
Posted on the 3rd April 2025
It is with nothing but horror and disgust that we report the death of another innocent animal at Aintree today. Willy De Houelle, just four years old, was killed in the second race today after suffering a horrific fall. The death toll of this barbaric event is now 66 horses killed since 2000.
The Grand National three-day meeting is lethal for horses – who have no choice but to run for their lives on a racecourse designed to push them to their limits. Furthermore, National Hunt or ‘jump’ racing has killed more than 3,000 horses since 2001. This is why we are calling for a ban on jump racing, with the cruel Cheltenham and Aintree festivals being the first to go. Â
