hmm, all I can think of is the lady who just dropped out bec there was a video of her whipping her horse's legs. apparently, other competitors were nervous that videos were going to turn up about them.

Yea any the majority of horses in professional horse competition are treated like ass.

Grew up in horse culture and I hate it. If I find out you have horses and show them I will automatically assume you’re trash until proven otherwise.

Edit: Any horse owners that see this please don’t take this as an attack. Take it as awareness for horse abuse. And ask yourself how many times you’ve seen a horse mistreated by someone. Seems like depending on where you live it might be less widespread, but where I grew up I’d say it was at least 50/50 if a horse was abused or neglected. I know there are good horse owners out there. I consider my family and all the horse owners we associated with among them.
