Interesting article.Terrible photos from the olympics.Horses with blue tongues,stressed faces etc.Cameras are getting better and photos clearer.Blue tongues are more than uncomfortable but down right painful.Some of the little darlings (i.e. My horse is my best friend) are tightening nose bands even more to try and stop the horses opening their mouths.Blood in the mouth is often due to an overtightened nose band apparently.One horse looked as though it had a scar on its tongue.Really it is getting harder and harder to justify using horses in sport.
