I’m sorry but, I don’t understand all this. We’re now talking about horses being marked in a sport where they can break their legs or necks at any time. If we accept the fact that it is a sport not without danger and these things can and do happen then surely it should just be banned altogether? How can we argue that hitting a horse with a piece of foam is cruel but throwing it at a fence at thirty plus miles an hour isn’t? I’m just beginning to question everything about the sport that I’ve loved for over fifty years.
