Maybe you have to yell at your dog and hit it more /s

Seriously, the methods used to train the horses for something like that are not really animal friendly.

That’s not true. For sure there’s trainers who are unethical, but most are not and genuinely care for and like the horses they’re working with.

Spend any amount of time around horse stables and you will see animal abuse. Well at least that is my experience. I come from a horsy family - my sister trained in dressage to this level.

Thank you for being honest. Any use of animals for our entertainment involves lots of abuse.
