Learn to do it (Trim) yourself on a 3 min course. No cost apart from the angle grinder and blades (if you can't borrow your OH's)

But if you know what it *should* look like, no matter whether you manage it, is your opinion valid ?

Yes - logic is important BUT is an opinion only to convince or sway ? Are they not still entitled to their (potentially illogical) say ? I agree with you btw - as long as there is some logic and effort to understand what they are discussing then opine away but what I am asking is slightly...

I dunno.. I agree with Paris above.. i.e I know why a ProSJ might use a rapping pole (yes, it's 'illegal') Doesn't mean I agree with it. The Pro/Amateur argument is a similar one. One I see both sides of too (not having been a professional competitor but enough experience of Pro yards and...

I am assuming the opinions given are not just from made-up reasoning that at least *some* research would have been done. However, Whether you have done research or not, if you like something or find it abhorrent on sight - whether it is wrong or right to YOU - is your opinion still valid ?

This. I will not be buying Spanish products either.

:D:D I can't believe there is even a vague comparison between Icare D'Auzay and this 'sport' :rolleyes: It's not my petition but thank you all for signing and sharing. I feel, athough I am not Anti-bloodsports that I can sign this because I don't view it as being 'sporting'. Their is...

I don't agree with that.

Just made a few changes to your post and it seems very familiar from a few years ago pre-foxhunting ban... Ban happened here...

Whether the horse is old or sick or not I don't find it acceptable. And tbh, watching that horse at the start of the video it's not looking old and infirm to me! It looks it prime condition. Why would a Rejoneador risk his life on a old, unfit horse against a fit, enraged bull ? It is...
