Sorry to ask...but Amy Tryon and Le Samurai

OMG that is unforgivable.

I thought the Fur programme the other night had some fairly shocking examples of animal abuse in it but this is almost worse because as well as the physical abuse there is a complete breach of trust.

How could anyone build up a relationship with a horse and then abuse it in such a way?

I dont believe in an eye for an eye so wish her no physical harm but hope she is tormented by the memory of this event.
 
I've never been able to watch it all the way through - that poor horse - she's an absolute disgrace to the horseworld & should be shot for what she did to that horse! How can anyone trust her with their horses now?
She should be ashamed of herself & no matter how great my love of the sport if I knew I'd inflicted so much pain & suffering on an innocent, genuine creature like that I'd never ride again - how can she live with herself?
Cruel beyond words...
 
OMG i just re-read this thread and watched the video. That is disgusting and I agree she should have been banned.
 
'I simply apologize for being human'

Stolen from H&H a fortnight ago. I think it somes up how I felt watching that video. I cannot understand how that could ever be justified nor why she is still competing. Sad I know, but I honestly don't know how she manages to live with her self let alone sleep at night.
 
I've never seen that film before, I was slightly worried that I wouldn't see the lameness after everyone stated how noticable it was, but oh my word, that is one lame pony. Poor boy.
I can see now why it provoked such an outrage.
 
First time I had seen this - quite appalling to watch, and there's no way she could not have been aware of that poor, poor horse's stumbling gait. She got her comeuppance in the Olympics XC phase today, anyway ... just wish she had been permanently banned from competing after an exhibition like that.
 
I can't bring myself to watch it again, it brings a lump to my throat just knowing the video is there, she is a wicked wicked person in my mind and should be banned.......not sure what happened last night in the XC.....off to find the post
 

What a truly disgusting creature she is. That video has sickened me & I for one hope she goes home from the Olympics with no medals at all.

That poor horse, it's plain for a total novice to see it's hopping lame & she is supposed to be a professional.

I sincerely hope she gets banned from the sport & any horses unfortunate enough to be ridden by that do not suffer the same fate as the poor animal shown in the video.

The b**ch doesnt deserve to own a horse. (sorry for the cursing but that has made me so angry)

Now, i'm not gonna pretend i'm an amazing rider but even i would have felt that! It's pathetic the way she seems to have pleaded ignorance. How could she not notice? He looked to have broken into trot at one point and even before he started stumbling, he seemed to be struggling.

Disgraceful, disgusting and plain CRUEL.
 
I've watched it so many times, and each time just makes me feel worse, how could she not have pulled up! And to think she was selected to represent her Country.
 
QR - OMFG!!!!!!! I think that vid as made me more upset than anything I have ever seen!!!!!!!

She has got to be either completely thick or totally evil!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Fat cow, I'm glad she fell off!!
 
It was quite pleasing watching her fall off but hasn't she learnt a thing from what happened before? she was still pushing her horse way too hard and fast - if she had stayed on I hate to think what state the poor horse would have been in by the end.

BAN HER!!
 
Well I took pleasure in her falling off after "hearing" about the event, now I've seen it, I I'm just thinking "GRRRRRR!!!!!

" No pleasure involved!

It really wouldn't surprise me if all her owners desert her now. Two events of blatent appaling riding is more than enough to change riders. hopefully we won't be seeing her again.

I wonder is this thread will end up in H&H....
 
No!! Especially in these circumstance!!! Seriously, I would not give a f*ck about hurting her feeling and all that, She is an absolute disgrace and she should be ashamed of herself. That vid has seriously made my blood boil!!!

FTR - I know she's not really that big in the whole scheme of things, but it only fuels the whole "all you horse riders do is cling on, not really a sport is it??" comments when this woman is competing at the olympics and it's not like she's representing some random little country is it?? She just looks like a girl with a fat arse blobbing along and clearly not looking out for her horses.

If I was her I would not dare show my face in the eventing cummunity ever again!!
 
OMG that is absolutely disgusting, I feel tearful and physically sick. She should be banned from the sport and have a good whipping.

I am glad the ****ing bitch fell off. How can they let someone like that compete at the Olympics?

There have been too many deaths of horses such as Teddy O'Connor (field incident) recently without riders like that going out recklessly with no regard for the horses welfare.
 
First time I've seen the video clip, and I'm shocked at the amount of time she continued. I'd assumed from the little I read when the incedent took place, that she was commited to a jump from about two or three strides away and therefore couldn't not jump. The video has given a totally different slant on the issue.

Don't worry everyone, she will get her caputance.

Hey great new word! Do you mean comeuppance?

I like caputance better though - have visions of gallows, not real ones, more of a public feeling, like a virtual beheading, very apt

Thats what I heard at the time which is why i didn't comment having not seen it myself.
 
I have just watched that video... Horrific absolutely horrific. How could she not have noticed and why did she not pull up? Poor poor horsey... Why did she only get a few months ban?She shouldn't be on the team or allowed to compete anymore.

Glad she fell off XC, even I could tell that it was going to go wrong, she rides like S**T!.
 
OMG why did she not stop? She kept on going when he was obviously struggling and in pain. She should be banned for that, its animal abuse. I am disgusted.
 
The commentary team said, rather suckupishly I thought, 'oh, no one could have sat that' to which one of my young daughters said 'I bet Mary King could' and the other one said, 'it wouldn't have happened to Mary King in the first place but this person is total rubbish'
they are 9 and 11.
I rest my case.
 
well, i wouldn't have posted it, but i'm glad someone did, to convince those who thought we were all being very nasty and unfair, wanting her to fall off at HK.
what she did was absolutely unforgiveable, no question in my mind, and she doesn't appear to have learnt from it. she was galloping Poggio recklessly on the forehand and fell at a simple fence.
however, i agree with Lucretia's post earlier - we should be concentrating on a great day yesterday, no serious horse or rider injuries, a brilliant course which brought out the best of 98% of riders.
the AT thing has been "handled" by the toothless FEI. the AHSA still backs her, god only knows why. there's no point getting stirred up about it all over again. nothing we can do.
R.I.P. poor Samurai. i hope you're in a better place now.
