HBO Issues Statement After Horse Dies on the Set of ‘The Gilded Age’ Season 2
HBO has released a statement after a horse died on the set of The Gilded Age.
On Thursday (July 7), the network confirmed that they would be launching an investigation after the animal collapsed on set, adding that safety on set was always a “top priority.”

“HBO was saddened to learn that on June 28, during filming on the set of The Gilded Age, a horse collapsed and died, likely of natural causes, according to a veterinarian’s preliminary findings,” HBO said in a statement. “The safety and well-being of animals on all our productions is a top priority, and the producers of The Gilded Age work with American Humane to ensure full compliance with all safety precautions. Following AHA’s recommendation, the horse was transported to a facility for a full necropsy. AHA has interviewed all involved personnel, and full necropsy results are pending.”
Filming stopped immediately once the horse collapsed and the personnel on set attempted to help the animal, with production being shut down for the day. The horse involved was reportedly 22 years old and had been on film sets before.
Courtney Penley, coordinator for animals in film & television for PETA, also released a statement about the incident, writing: “We’re calling on HBO to confirm the death, to conduct an immediate internal investigation into the incident, and to hold the party or parties who allowed it to occur responsible. Finally, we’re asking you to take measures so that something similar never happens again.”
The statement also brought up HBO’s former series Luck, which was cancelled after one season after it was confirmed three horses had died during filming.
“These animals were unfit, arthritic, drugged, and pushed beyond their capabilities,” it said. “Many weren’t accustomed to film sets and had received no training but were retired racehorses. We had hoped HBO might have learned something from that experience: namely, that horses aren’t props. They’re sensitive animals who can be startled easily, and they must be gradually accustomed to the changing conditions on a set.”
