Can we also disqualify the person who made that website have a hovering video that can’t be removed on mobile?
That crap shouldn’t be in the Olympics. Do the horses get the metal? Cause they’re the ones doing the impressive stuff.
Medal.
The core issue with dressage is that they are putting the medal on the wrong neck. The horse is doing all of the work, they deserve all of the credit. Yes, being a dressage rider is (probably) hard work, but so is being a jokey or a wrestling coach. Also, all animal training facilities should automatically be on animal cruelty watch lists and subject to random inspections.
Oh no not dressage
Good thing we have a ready replacement in the wings
Wtf
The scary part is that it’s totally real
Horses are such amazing creatures. Whipping them is equivalent to whipping children. This lady needs a good paddling.
Unless she likes it, then she shouldn’t get one
I can see why.
What does the article say? I’m on mobile and even with DNS Adblock all I get is a super loud Ford commercial that links me away from the article if I try to stop it.
I thought they removed the part with the horses since the pentathlon incident during the last olympics
I’m not sure it’s possible to remove the horses from the competitive horse dancing event.
I think synchronised horse swimming has been nixed already.
Ah my bad. I assumed it was that case. In pentathlon they get assigned a horse that they don’t know and need to perform more or less with a stranger. There was a case of an athlete whipping that horse like crazy last Olympic because it wouldn’t do what she wanted
This just reminded me that there’s an amusement park near where I grew up where back in like the twenties and '30s and stuff, the idea of entertainment was to force a horse to run up a giant ramp out above a lake, maybe 50 feet up and have it jump into the water as a high diving horse.
Horse diving, it’s still a thing just extremely uncommon and highly defended but the like 5 people that still do it.
