Though he was still alive, Waco Kid would never walk again. He should have been put down immediately, but rodeo thugs knew that would be a bad look, so they did what they always do - they lied.
What no one knew until Bryan dug into the case was that no X-rays or scans were taken of Waco Kid. An incomplete, incompetent examination predictably resulted in a lack of accurate information.
After failing to X-ray Waco Kid at the rodeo arena, he was moved to the Helen Woodward Animal Hospital. And still, rodeo veterinarian Tim Eastman failed to take any X-rays or scans.
Helen Woodward’s veterinarian, Rodrigo Vazquez, stated that he felt Waco Kid’s chances of recovery were “very slim.” The following day, Waco Kid’s owner, Lloyd Vigen reportedly loaded the still helpless Waco Kid onto a trailer for a trip of 1800 miles to North Dakota in the middle of winter.
In 2025, a second horse would be sacrificed on the altar of John Wayne wannabes. Pearl Necklace, a pregnant, near-term mare, was forced to buck for the fake cowboys, resulting in a uterine artery rupture.
Rodeo personnel, including the rodeo veterinarian Tim Eastman stated that they were unaware that Pearl Necklace was pregnant at all, much less close to giving birth. So much for any claim that rodeo thugs are animal experts, even those with veterinary licenses.
