ban horse racing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[only_me]

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you masiemoo.
Racing is barbaric, as is all other forms of horse activity where you ride them. I mean, look at the amount of horses that are forced to jump for their riders? Badminton, HOYs etc. are all just the tip of the icebergs.
I dont get enduracne - why would you stress the poor pony out by riding it for hours? and getting it all sweaty and tired? The list goes on and on.

Thats why I choose parelli. Totally stress free for the horse (apart from when I wave my carrot stick at him and he tramples all over me) and fun.
Then my horse only works when he has to
