Endurance horses dies at Euston Park

[Tardebigge]

I am just an old bystander in horse related things now, but I am struck by the contrast between Charlotte Dujardins elimination for blood on the side of her horse and the death of yet another endurance horse. Both disciplines are regulated by the FEI. Why can they be so strict (rightfully) with one discipline, yet turn such a blind eye to genuine cruelty with another?

Because a certain man isn’t involved in dressage 🙄

For anyone who cares to wade through it. The FEI are holding a consultation on proposed reforms in the sport. the UAE have offered up some alternatives.

Pippa Cuckson is great. I read a lot of her articles. The UAE have some neck. I suppose they are also buying votes from federations in other countries. That would ensure voting goes their way.
