would you ride this horse?

It takes a hell of a lot to make me cry, and I mean a lot. And for some reason i'm sat here crying. He needs weight putting on, and a long happy retirement.
 
Oh my goodness, poor poor thing. Looks to have barely enough strength to carry himself let along the ignorant arrogant creature on top.
 
Poor, dear, sweet, old thing! He needs, as others have said, some TLC and a long rest! Do you think he has been 'rescued'?
 
Absolutely dreadful

Interesting to see the comments under though. I dont know the language in some but am guessing it seems to be only us English speakers that have a problem with it.
 
Woah - wtf, that is horrible. Stopped watching as soon as he got on, I saw the comments on the video and thought maybe he was just going to ride bareback to the field or something, when I saw the horse with a saddle on, that was way too much.

And also - I don't get the video either from what I watched - it is weird - what are they trying to say?
 
he's a barefooter, doesnt believe in stabling, saddles, bridles or competitions of any sort. The frightening thing is that he's against vets and seems to think that he can manage laminitis and navicular disease etc better than any vet!!!! He's on an equine forum here in Italy and some of the guff he spouts is incredible. He believes we are cruel to our horses and we should all be riding 'indian style' as he does!!!!
I notice that there are some new 'comments' on his Youtube vidoe....thanks ladies:D
Chestnuttymare-your Italian is great! :)
 
no i would not, and i have made my feelings know to the person who uploaded the video too. that is disgusting and cruel. :( not impressed- at all!!
 
What a state, maybe WHW need to visit, I gave up at the feet rasping, what was that about, looked like they were very neglected, my farrier does not rasp like that
Has he got an aversion to vets because they ask him to pay for treatment, he is not a fit and proper person, and should be prosecuted.

Not sure whether any of the previous posters who mentioned WHW have done so already - but I have emailed the international team at WHW to pass on the video link/his website address.
Sickened by this. What a dear old horse, to be willingly doing everything he asked.
