Stoned horses at gig

A troupe of performing horses are to be given sedatives to help them cope with a Rolling Stones gig.

The horses will be in the stadium for the Stones concert at the Hippodrome in the Serbian capital Belgrade on July 14.

The animals live at the stadium where they make regular performances for locals, and managers at the stadium say they have no other place to move them before the concert, so they will have to stay.

Hippodrome director Jovanka Prelic said: "We are not too worried, although it is not ideal, but they survived NATO bombings so I guess they will survive the Rolling stones, and in any case, we will give them drugs to make sure they do not get too upset."

ah man, the horse are gonna have the best time, im gonna put a horse suit on and get drugged to

May seem bizarre, but not unheard of.

I own a horse an keep it at the local fairgrounds. On the 4th of July they have a fireworks display there and several of the horses get really freaked out by it - even tho they have been there for years and should be used to it. Some owners have their horses tranquilized before the event and the poor ones who freak out and don't get tranquilized spin around in their stalls, shake and work up so much sweat that their whole body is sopping wet by the end of the 30 to 45 min display. Luckily my horse jumps at the first boom, but after that he just sighs like "oh, well, here we go again..."

Go some where else and have the gig. The stones are already tranquilized on some thing they probably wont know where they are anyway.

A little disturbing, but ok.........
