People learn by example…so why not use correct horsemanship and riding in lower level shows and help those who would like to learn by setting a gentle example?

Why not refer them to people who teach and do care?
…this debate can not be won on the internet it begins in the stable!

There are people that try and there may be moments when a still photo can catch an unfortunate moment, particuarly in racing but that is not an effect they are trying to produce such as rollkur!

I do not believe in using rollkur for show horse training…it is about submission, not suppleness. Even though we have good evidence about drugs and people the education is available…the choice is personal.Right or WRONG!

Thank you Alexander for your loving training. The rollkur method is hard to watch and the suffering that these poor horses are enduring has to stop!! Hopefully this abuse can be stopped with more education and awareness.

I just look at these horses eyes and see a crushed spirit – and for what, points & a sash & a trophy?…..I don’t get it…

So blessed by what nevzorov has achieved.would like to see kids all around the world learning this instead of being trained to compete without emotion on an animal that is full of emotion.When we work on loving in any area of life, we are given more love to work with.Love is strength not weakness. Favour is waking with a heart full of joy each morning & no weights of guilt & selfish desire to kill that joy.Please do all that you can to educate us about this loving way of working with animals!!thanks.

How can these people live with themselves!!!
I hope wen they see these pictures of themselves it makes them ashamed and they realise the pain they are causing to these beautiful animals.

I see ignorance at the hands of the ‘experts’. I see abuse and a loss of connection between human and horse so extreme as to bring shame on the human. I feel deep sadness and disgust that as a race, our horse ‘professionals’ abuse their position and do not think, feel or open their awareness to the charges in their care. I hope the FEI open their eyes to what is happening, as to not take action leaves them in the same position as the perpetrators.
