Yet another silly ignorant person writing about stuff they don't know! Wouldn't mind but he probably hasn't sat on a horse before in his life! What a fool, dressage is not cruel, it's the harmony between horse and rider.

Sure it is... in an ideal world.
I don't think it's fair to calls someone a fool or silly just because they don't understand something and have expressed an honest opinion.

I agree with Tinypony. Also, the writer has asked for an explanation and says he'd like to be proved wrong.
He's made it clear it's stuff he's always wondered about, and he's concerned about possible animal cruelty. Which is fair enough, especially as we all know cruelty does exist in equestrianism, just possibly not where he thinks...
