Marcus is one of the quietest riders I have ever watched that was 20 seconds if that and the horse wasnt even moving forward, it looked like he was trying to keep its concentration and flex him.

I love seeing correctly trained horses Carls and Charlottes for example but Im not sure what wearing hoodies is really going to achieve, most people wont have a clue what Rollkur is!

Ahhhh but those using it WILL and as such may be shamed into not using it.
After all its we the public who pay to watch such events....if we don't like what we see, they need to know that!

I doubt it really if it works for them and they still get high marks they are not going to change, the tide is turning and correct work is being marked highly, but I still dont see how 30 people walking around in hoodies is going to change anything!

I agree that marcus is very quiet , but i have seen him doing rollkur and the horse looked very uncomfortable .

Ahhhh well Holidays are coming what's the point in doing anything then? People said the same when women fought for the vote & people pointed out that sending children down mines was not a good idea not to mention rapping show jumpers now that was once just as popular

But it might bring it to others' attention and also it raises money for a good cause.
For that matter alone I'm happy to buy one :)

I'd like a couple, please pm me.

If there are people who go to horsey events who don't know of Rollkur or understand how evil it is, maybe some educative fliers could be printed and placed under windscreen wipers in car parks at big events... some photos and computer links should spread the word. Or is that illegal?
