The carcass of a race horse lies in the surf on 28 December 2020 after it was euthanised during the Tolaga Bay races. Anti Rodeo Action NZ spokeswoman Lynn Charlton said that was unacceptable. Event organisers deny this, saying the accusations were without facts, were "incorrect and uninformed", and that no one from Anti Rodeo Action NZ was there on the day. The carcass of a race horse is dragged from the beach after it was euthanised during the Tolaga Bay races.
