Erm NO!
The winter Olympics were fab to watch, and exciting
Dressage is dull AF and riddled with welfare issue and heavy handed spurring people with horses with horrible dangling legs that look like they're broken and looks like a circus.
Id much rather more winter Olympics sports and horse...
Just looked up A&K owners (rather hard to find) and disappointed by one of the names listed
What happened to Gio, know he was sold but nothing seems to have come out about him since
Definitely agree the usually rich owners need to be held accountable for sending the horses to these people
Unfortunately it seems all they care about is who gets the best results 🙄
Its a whole viscous cycle and has had its day. Animals in circuses were banned, the majority of "top level"...
Given they all seem to be as bad as each other, is it time to say "enough is enough" and ban it?
Its all just completely ugly, the spurring, the sawing, the money flying round, the horses looking like they have broken legs dangling
I really enjoyed watching the winter Olympics, and there were...

They are all just as bad as each other, as unfortunately, quick fixes get the results.
They are then sawing and booting in public, again prompting the question of what goes...
Spot on, its purely driven by their egos, summed up entirely by MB saying how itll lay ghosts to rest - yep for the egos involved not CH
And whats even more sickening is if he wins they will be heralded as heroes and the media will obsess even more
Spot on, what is the value at his age of putting him through the long flight when hes never left the UK before?
It doesnt help the media are adding to the drama, fuelling connections egos even more
Let's not forget they jump the first 2(?) Flights twice, and theyre in front of the stands. Can...
Yep feels like the pair of them (NH & MB) are loving all the attention (that the media seems to love whipping up around him, do we get this much about any other horse, I know hes Irish trained, but you dont hear this much about GDC for example and hes won 2 gold cups)
Feels like they want this...
