Just who is he aiming at?
Does he not realise the cruelty involved in bronc riding. The broncing horse was bad enough, but the roping horse moving backward and dragging the calf caused my 9yr old son to burst into tears and become almost inconsolable after seeing the cowboys demonstrating their manliness and prowess in the calf-roping competition. Clueless looked on grinning in admiration. It seems all it takes is a tight cinch and an egotistical rider to make a horse a star, according to him. 'Naughty horses getting rewarded', he reckons. How convenient.
Clueless, with that inane grin on his face, said to the rodeo rider that bucking horses in Britain would be sold on and lies told about them never having done that before. It goes on, I know, but he almost made it sound acceptable, FGS!
And then standing there agreeing with the trainer of the knight-carrying horse that it was trust which facilitated horses carrying fighting men into battle, blah, blah blah. It was sharp spurs, cruel bits, and the determination, greed, and killer instincts of men which caused horses to charge into battle and lose their lives in such numbers over the centuries...
...and did anyone notice the way he dumped his bulk into the saddle on that little Kazahk horse? It must have been all of 12 hh. He grinned his way through that as well.
Clueless just laughs and agrees with everything. Is he really the best person for the face of the BHS? Nice but dim, would he not be better to be less subjective and more compassionate in his approach, or should I not be watching?
