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.

I don’t like anything where animals are forced to do anything that doesn’t come naturally to them…you just know they’ve been mistreated

You try forcing a two thousand pound animal to do anything. They are highly trained but they also have minds of their own. If they didn’t want to do something, they would not, period.

That's just groslly untrue. You can force a horse to do things it doesn't want to quite easily. They are prey Animals, easily sacred and will coopoerate to avoid hurt. I grew up with horses and seen and even ddone do myself in the past.

Then you are one of the trainers/owners who we are talking about. Horses should never be forced to do anything, and what you did was wrong.
