FEI deletes and blocks criticism!

[Mondy]

FEI will do nothing when silver medals are awarded for blatant horse abuse, and when riders use prohibited training techniques, they are not reprimanded but given a special, screened-off arena in which to carry on with their dubious practice.

Here is poor Parzival a little hour ago:

And here he is with a fellow Dutch and a Swedish horse yesterday:

Worldwide demands for explanations have poured in on the FEI's facebook page and now the federation has taken action. Unfortunately, they have decided to condone violent riding and block all critical comments.

I find this very, very worrying.

That video is solid proof. They were deleting complaints because pictures could have been specifically selected to look bad. That video shows full on Rollkur.. appalling.

He did most of his test with his mouth open

The only reason he needs that whacking great pad under his noseband is, presumably, because the noseband is too tight?
