Yet another delightful rider..... not..... when will this end?

Well done you - I think it is so hard to stand up to a pro if you disagree with their method
Thank you. Now he'll jump anything I point him at because he's had the time and patience to be able to learn and take it all in. I just won't compromise his welfare for anyone, he's more important than the ego of some so called professional!
 
I once as a kid sat on a “dancing horse” in Egypt. And to make it do it’s “dance” which was just a pretty poor piaffe where the horse stomped each back leg HARD, you had to tap and I mean tap it on the base of the tail with a crop. The man was delighted to tell me he’d trained it by doing this till this delightful young Arab stallion would kick in frustration, rather than the old way of tying it between bars and flogging it. He was keen to show off how much better he treated his horses then he’d been taught. Don’t get me wrong there was a lot to be desired but he was genuine and his horses at the display had modern bits on, were well fed etc. I would rate him as more of a horseman than these riders. He at least cared for them and wanted to be better.

That video is disgusting, disheartening and shocking. I mean if you have to spur, smack and jag in the mouth to get the movement and be a good rider? I don’t want to be a good rider anymore.

We will loose our social licence, and fast. And frankly I can’t watch these videos again and again and try and justify that we shouldn’t.
 
I didn't have the sound on so dont know if it said, do we know who it is? Absolutely disgusting behaviour
Anna Hilton
That's awful, poor horse. Surely something will be done?
Yes something has been done, BHS have awarded her a BHSI qualification. Well done for rewarding horse abusers BHS.

Wtf ?
Poor poor horse and what was it learning ? How to be head shy, how to be scared of people- if you stand stock still you will still get hurt.

So how many of us are going to continue to support the bhs ? How many are going to cancel our memberships ?
Whw do the same insurance cover.
My membership is about due but I will cancel on the back of this video if we can supply proof of the complaint ?
 


This the same anna hilton?

Already done for dangerous riding

That was 11 years ago and they are, unfortunately, pretty commonly dished out

That’s what I really can’t understand… what is she trying to teach it? If it was a recognisable lesson but with unnecessary violence that would be one (quite bad enough) thing. But the horse doesn’t have a clue what it’s doing wrong. Bitch of a woman.

I'd say total loss of temper but I wonder if people who do this kind of thing feel it's their right and enjoy provoking a big reaction from a horse that's in some way defied them (by not being perfect/obedient/etc). That's why they go on whacking, yanking etc for so long.
 
Where has this video come from ? Anna Hilton is just up the road from me, I haven't heard anything bad about her, she's very well known locally.

Does it matter where the video comes from ?
It exists, she obviously has form as another poster mentioned, someone was prepared for this torture session.
