[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Abusing these animals is abhorrent [/quote] Abusing any living thing is abhorrent. We're talking about dressage horses and the sport. 99.9% are not abused. Ever. It's a better rate than human children. Dressage is really incredible. Humans don't "naturally" do dancing (ballet, break, jazz, whatever) or back handsprings, but to train a horse to respond to their rider and be able to use their body in these precise movements is really phenomenal. Consummate human/animal connection. I'll just have to be happy with my doggie by my side on the couch.[/quote] Why don't we put sheep herding with border collies in the Olympics then. Or sniffer dog obstacle courses, given the consummate human/dog connection in that job. Or falconry?[/quote]
