I doubt it's any worse than it used to be, it's just 50/60/100 years ago there were no internet forums to discuss things on. I think if anything people are a lot more open to investigating problems these days. When horses were working animals they did their job, and if not they got the bullet. There was no such thing as equine physios, chiros, whisperers, communicators, saddle fitters, etc. And as far as the riders being less brave these days, well as long as the horse is looked over what on earth does it matter how high they jump?
