Ban Rollkur - Please Sign

  1. Petition signed. Adelinde Cornellissen's ride today was terrible... all her aids were highly visible, and you could watch her hands jerk against the bit EVERY STRIDE. No consideration to the horse's comfort was made at all. By far the ugliest ride I have ever seen, especially at that level. How she got her score is beyond me. If you want to man handle something, switch your passion to cars, not horses.

  2. Bra inlägg jag skriver under. Har inte sett en minut från dressyren, är så illa berörd av detta elände.

  3. I got to watch almost the whole dressage competition but my heart hurt while watching it. Usually I never watch any competitions because of that... it also astonished me with what kind of excuses people came up with to justify their inhumane treatment of the horses. One of the Olympic slogans is "Fair Play" - only there is nothing fair about Rollkur at all. When are people going to wake up and stand up for the horse and stop making excuses? Where is the moral??
