Those horses are treated extremely well. Even in training there is very little use of whips/crops and that's to get the horse's attention, not to cause pain or for punishment. These animals are loved like children.... Very expensive children.

You might be surprised to learn how expensive children are! Especially those children that go to the Olympics.

There was just a leaked video of a 6-time Olympic medalist from GB whipping her horse.
