I didn’tWhen you ask for “context”, using analogies such as this, is it any wonder people think you’re excusing her behaviour?

Probably why I didn’t say you did.I didn’t
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.When you ask for “context”, using analogies such as this, is it any wonder people think you’re excusing her behaviour?
In the example you offer, there is justification for the rough behaviour. By asking for context, you’re suggesting there is some circumstance that could justify hitting a horse repeatedly on the legs. That is how your post reads in the context of your own choice of example.
FWIW, I do not believe the rest of the footage would in any way explain her actions, and I suspect the whole video is uncomfortable viewing for those of us uncomfortable with the nature of modern dressage.
You don’t need to be beating your chest in order to put your point acrossI 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
Then you ban it all. Which obviously is not going to happenTime to ban dressage competitions is getting closer and closer.. far too much cruelty is being used.
Maybe the Olympics committee will ban all horse events.theyve already gone from the pentathlon.Then you ban it all. Which obviously is not going to happen
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.
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
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?But perhaps that’s your intention. I’m not convinced you’re on the level…
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.Just cracking a lunge whip, not hitting a horse, I presume. I thought it was v loud too, but that’s not v important anyway.
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.

Over 64000 signatures though which is sobering.Rather a lot of incorrect info on there ,
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...By that logic every teacher of every miscreant should be held liable for whatever they get up to?
Some people would much prefer it to be closed, they walk amongst us.
Why the Olympics?? If they should be banned they should be banned everywhere!Link to petition to stop equestrian sports at the Olympics, in case anyone hasn't yet seen it.
