An outpooring of outrage has arisen when Australian equestrian publication Cyberhorse published the news that the body of Blas Lago's recently passed away Northern Hector has been disposed off by a pet food processing company.
On Wednesday 7 December Blas Lago Northern Hector collapsed and died of a ruptured aorta in the warm up ring at the 2011 CDI-W Werribee.
