Wanted to post about this earlier, but I didn't really get around the whole thing. I still don't really know what to say about it. *shakes head in disbelief

Signed it, even though I never watch those equestrian shows on tv. I'm always scared they hurt their horses. These things always look so stiff and evil and no fun at all :(
And yes, it looks stiff and evil, that's the "new" equestrian sport, because most of the riders don't accept the fact that a horse needs a certain training to be able to compete in international classes - this training needs a lot of time and nowadays you can find 7 years old horses competing in international jumping and dressage classes - that's just way too soon and you can be asured that the horse didn't have the right training.
It's very sad at the moment and I hate where the sport is going. :(
