BBC - NEWS - Americas Tests are being carried out to try to discover why 21 polo ponies collapsed and died ahead of a major tournament in Florida at the weekend.
The horses, from a Venezuelan-owned team and valued at $100,000 (£69,000) each, became dizzy and disoriented.
Several died on the spot at the ground in Palm Beach County, while others died hours later as they were being treated.
Veterinarians say they suspect some kind of toxin but say it may be several days before the source is identified.

Obviously mass hysteria. Another job for Simon Wessley!
