Is there anyone who has followed the Olympic equestrian sport? I'm sure some of you have.
I have followed it, with a half open eye. I must honestly say that I think it's cruel to see how the dressage is these days. I think it's crazy that people who ride their horses in Rollkur and with completely improper carrying of the body gets so high points. I don't understand how the judges can close their eyes. It's grotesque! Additionally a Danish equestrian sports magazine (RideHesten) praise riders for their magnificent achievement. I don't think well of the performance value when the horse gets ridden with their head right against their chest, with a carb bit, spurs and a whip. I'm disgusted. But I think cross contry and show jumping is on a little better track.
Pictures from this years OL in London:
Collection i guess? |
Beautiful contact! |
Happy Horse? |
The drawing shows how it should look like. What happened? |
This is how it should look! Light contact and the muscles on this horse are positioned correctly. The horses you see at the Olympics look like something ready for the slaughterhouse!
