Fantastic to see. I also like Epke Zonderland's haircut: he's a true rocker (without the coke).

From what I've heard from horse breeders imo it should be banned completely, the horses necks get contorted causing pain in later life and they actually forget how to walk and run freely; and some owners refuse to take their horses out on a run lest they get bad habits, like cantering and galloping as horses should.
I like it, like it... YES I DO!!Quote

Thanks Eddie, that is interesting. I dont know much about it, but it does not really look natural for the horses doing it.
With that being said....
Whole hearted congratulations the horses/countries who earned medals.

I don't know that much but the woman who owns the stables where I go riding also breeds show jumpers, she was telling us about some of the unseen practices in the horse world including what I written above, she also said that it's not actually unusual for 'dressage' horses to never see beyond indoor training arenas and their stables. Some people have no regard for the true welfare of animals when it comes to fame and glory and money.
There's a 'prestigous' dog show here called Crufts. To win, dogs need to be bred to certain 'standards'. Trouble is these standards are rendering dogs disfunctional and breeding in anatomical problems, especially to do with breathing and bone strength. Well a couple of years ago the R.S.P.C.A. disassociated themselves from the dog show. Good job, hoping they'll move similarly re. dressage, soon.
I think if people want to contort and sculpt their own bodies with the view to obtaining some sort of "perfection" - fine, but leave the animals out of it, I say.
