HOYS today - shocked at 'professional's' behaviour

He should get a red card, it was absolutely disgraceful. Would you rein your horse back so hard that it sat down and tipped over? If BSJA and his sponsors do NOT investigate this, they must be held to account. I for one will be sending emails, no horse should be treated like this.

He wasn't competing under BS rules so they technically have no authority to act. It's an FEI show
 
Wasn't Jay lovely generally. What a great ambassador for horse sports. I think if I were an owner (as if!) I'd happily send him a horse on the basis of his attitude last night.
 
Sounds horrendous. I would far rather see a refusal reprimanded with a couple of swift whacks with the whip than see a horse treated in this way.
 
I can't see any negative comments on his fb. Instead, adoring fans as he reigns martyr like making them beg for free Hoys tickets ..... like Michael Jackson doing earth song

Share the link to your own, change the settings on the link to public then posting here might work.

I have commented on his fb page, under the photo of the chesnut and there has been a few responses to it but nothing from him. Is it possible to write on his fb wall or can you only comment on what he has posted? I had intended on writing on his wall but couldn't see that option.

Seems to have caused a lot of upset.
 
What link? Sorry, I'm really tech thick. It just plays as a video, there's no address thingie with it. I really am dim when it comes to this kind of stuff. Oh hang on, I'll get the laptop and see if I get anywhere... bear with me, I'll be back.

Can you 'share' it on to your wall? If so, and your friend doesn't mind. I could add you as a friend, upload it to You tube and share with everyone! The more people that see it the better!

Even my non-horsey mother said this, she said you could tell how much he cared for his horse by his reactions in every round and how much it meant to him to even be there at HOYS. Wish him well for the future.

I asked that question up-thread. I wouldn't have been happy to see a couple of swift whacks, that would have been horribly unfair. The horse didn't do anything wrong. (Without getting into a debate about whether horses deserve punishment!).
