Avoid this if youve had enough! Rollkur

[teddyt]

In defence of the blue tongue incident, kittel used the fact that the horses mouth was foaming as an example that the horse was happy-

I hadnt realised this but it is actually a side effect of rollkur anyway, because the horse struggles to swallow. So although he used the mouth foaming as a positive sign, it is in fact the opposite.

Makes sense that the horse finds it harder to swallow with its neck in that position.

shouldn't think they'd be able to see much either, with their necks bent to that degree!!!!!!

White lipstick= good. Nice relaxed jaw

Foam flying everywhere, sign of not being able to swallow
