Teen girl arrested after allegedly stabbing three horses at Las Vegas racing event
The horses received medical treatment for the injuries, which luckily were not life-threatening. They are expected to recover completely but no longer be able to compete in the immediate future.
The disturbing incident has left many animal lovers stunned and searching for answers. The National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) released a statement, saying it was an “isolated” incident. “All appropriate steps have been taken to ensure the well-being of all horses,” they added.
However, the NBHA claimed that the alleged stabber was actually involved as an “event competitor.”
“The 2026 NBHA Professional’s Choice Vegas Super Show, held May 29-31 at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, experienced an isolated incident during the early morning hours of Saturday, May 30, involving the mistreatment of a limited number of equine athletes by an event competitor,” The statement read:
No ongoing threat
The statement concluded, “The individual involved has been removed and placed in the care of authorities, and there is no ongoing threat of any kind. We ask for respect and consideration for all involved during this sensitive time.”
