Ok, who is disgusted at the pentathlon?

I think it is disgraceful, the majority of these riders do not even look like they've sat on a horse before for more than perhaps a couple of weeks! I really don't understand that if they chose to do this event (pentathalon) then why don't they put as much effort into learning the riding part properly as the other events? It seems like it is still included for the comic element - notice how all the spectators are just laughing but there are reasons why a horse won't jump a fence or throw their heads up in the air as they go over a fence! This needs reviewing now!
 
I think the worst part of all was when they allowed the rider to get back on the horse after the horse fell on its neck and rolled over (the rider had blood pooring from his face) but they let the rider remount and he was going to continue... without either horse nor rider being checked out... any other discipline a horse fall is an elimination... they either need to serious rethink the rules and have a minimum standard of riding test before you can compete OR swap it for a Riding Test... (Dressage judged on the rider) IMO!

The commentator was an ass as well, he was calling the horses dodgy and wonkey donkeys and naughty... all I saw was badly ridden and confused horses.
 
Even I can ride better than them - beany wtf was wrong with the horses they all looked honest to me - my horse would boot you off rather than put up with that
