I have been shocked twice yesterday, once by cjd then the pammy Hutton thing, who seemed to talk very calmly saying it was wrong, my god are these people all in it together?, where was the outrage, disgust and passion that should now after all the revelations recently be bringing the axe down to end the sheer barbaric brutality these innocent horses are subjected to, and as for a cull, dont make me laugh our horses who are not wrecked by ignorant training are valued for who and what they are

I was merely giving an example of context as some appeared to struggle with the concept. I have said oooh 4 times now I don't condone her behaviour nor am I looking to excuse it.
However I am entitled to say I'd be curious to see the whole lesson. Given who the whistle-blower is it makes one wonder whether they were involved in unacceptable behaviour too prior to the clip being shown. That does not absolve CDJ at all and neither was I intimating it would or should

Time to ban dressage competitions is getting closer and closer.. far too much cruelty is being used.

I thought that Pammy looked rather shell shocked in her interview, like she couldn’t believe what she’d seen. Whilst she did say that she’d never seen Charlotte act in that manner before IRL, she did condemn her actions in the video.

But that is exactly what you’re doing. You’re trying to drag the rider into it. Trying to make her a part of the problem too. That’s deflecting the responsibility away from the person who was in the position of power.I was merely giving an example of context as some appeared to struggle with the concept. I have said oooh 4 times now I don't condone her behaviour nor am I looking to excuse it.

It’s not other people “struggling with the concept of context”, it’s you who seems to be struggling with the concept of subtext, whether intentional or otherwise.
But perhaps that’s your intention. I’m not convinced you’re on the level…

That's a bit rude and unnecessarily provocative. I think Ditchjumper2 has explained her post several times , and I found it very easy to understand where she was coming from and the intention behind her post. I think you are either just being deliberately rude or perhaps just deliberately obtuse?

Ive worked my way through loads of lunge whips over the years (in a good way I hasten to add...) and some definitely 'crack' a lot louder than others.

Could someone explain why a rapist of a twelve year old child, is being allowed to play volley ball at the Olympics, surely this is worse and he deserves to be suspended. I do not agree with what Charlotte has done but the Olympics should have standards.

Rather a lot of incorrect info on there ,Link to petition to stop equestrian sports at the Olympics, in case anyone hasn't yet seen it.

Waffled a lot!
It’s not right, I think it’s been said many times that it’s because he’s served his sentence. It’s the Dutch courts that decided he should get such a short time in jail, and the Dutch selectors that chose him.
Charlotte is suspended because it’s under investigation. Whether she will ride again remains to be seen.
Am I remembering incorrectly or did Lance Armstrong race again years after he was banned?
I think top level dressage might be nearing an end. It’s perhaps not achievable with kind riding. It doesn’t look nice. And I’ve always thought that about the Spanish Riding school etc with their movements above the ground. Ugly, not showing good horsemanship to me, just taking it too far.
I have thought for a good few years that equine events don’t belong at the Olympics. In Eventing it’s not even the highest level competition, and I wince watching some nations sending people that shouldn’t be there but have bought a good horse.

Yes and you can train a horse without beating it to get your point across, while someone is sitting on its back with double bits and spurs to get your er, point across, CJD says valegro had a hard mouth, so what does that tell about the standard, horse with hard mouth is the gold medal winner, now this is just my own experience but, if a horse has a hard mouth it's because the training is bad or the horse has a conformational defect,thick gullet etc, why do I have a feeling this time things will change, because its the English perhaps

Let’s not get this thread closed again. Theres a separate thread about the other Olympian in the current affairs forum.

Having worked in education, teachers are held liable, which is why everything is documented in minute detail and then made available to all necessary parties. It's partly why I left teaching...
