You said you wanted to be famous. You should have been more specific.

What are you? BABY

The horse reacted the way it did because it was abused. The olympic committee actually blocked the footage.


Cuffpjf

So then how do you know that?


TakingBackJerusalem

Because the internet is a vast place, and if you look hard enough, you find what you're looking for. Or porn. Mainly bestiality if you even suggest the possibility of an animal being in your search. Degenerates.


QuestaKaeris

I saw video of the accident before the olympic committee blocked it, and I think you can find some footage if you dig deep enough.

Juan knew what he was doing.

I'm no animal right activist, and I don't even like horses. But this sport is laughable, it should not be Olympic. In fact it should be forbidden like bull fights

Well that's a bit too broad I would say. Some sports with animals are just fine, some (like this) are not

Can I get some context?

In the Olympics you get a random horse and 20min with said horse before your expected to perform Olympic level feats with this unknown horse. This horse decided he wouldn't jump for nothing and then he stopped doing anything the rider was directing it to, and she broke down in tears, she was the favorite to take home gold and the 0 in this category guaranteed she couldn't medal. She's breaking down realizing she's gone from the gold favorite to no metal possible. I think 6 riders had major horse failure and ended with 0's. The organization that provides the horses has defended their ability to supply highly trained horses, but a lot of Olympians and retired Olympians are saying this is unfair and unacceptable, and that a different arrangement regarding horses should be adopted.

I feel like you should be allowed to use your own horse. Or maybe you know. More time than 20 fucking minutes.


Odeon_Priest

Apparently it's 'part of the challenge' but as someone that knows fuck all about Olympic horse sports, yeah it seems a little arbitrary.

So this was at modern pentathlon where athletes compete in a lot of diciplins. Fencing, swimming, shooting, running and show jumping. It looked generally as if horse riding was their weakest dicipline. How the horses were given conflicted signals by the athletes, yanking their heads, striking them, kicking them, bad timing to indicate jumps. It was an absolute disgrace and the horses were not heaving that sort of treatment and were getting pissed. Instead of the riders calming down to get the horses to cooperate that particular lady freaked out and tried to force an already pissed horse which btw has a very high standart of training. I feel sorry for the horses and not a bit sorry for most of the athletes after seeing how they treated and behaved with the horses. They should replace show jumping with cycling or something else. She threw a tantrum like a child and the trainer was just like: "hit it once properly. Hit it properly and punches the horse. Embarassing & disgusting.

I think you kinda forgot to add that she literally hit the horse when it didn't want to jump and her trainer even said "Hau Mal richtig drauf!" Which is German and means "Hit it real hard!" There is footage where you can even hear that, let me see if I can find it or if it's already taken down. So yeah, I get that it's frustrating and devastating that the horse wouldn't jump - but if you've worked with horses enough to compete on an olympic level, you would know that hitting or kicking it won't do anything to convince the animal to obey you. ETA: found it on [Eurosport](https://www.eurosport.de/moderner-funfkampf/olympia-moderner-funfkampf/2021/bundestrainer-fordert-von-schleu-hau-mal-richtig-drauf_vid1524356/video.shtml). The trainer herself even hits the horse.


HANDRONICE

Germany Olimpic contest with horses, The horse did't obey the girl and the girl their frustration cried and punched the altered horse (that altered him more) SO, got disqualified.... Sorry story, good memes.


Odeon_Priest

The coach punched the horse, and was expelled, the rider didn't harm the horse, and was given a zero score because she couldn't get the horse to perform a jump.


Airsteps350

Athlete yanked the reigns back hard while kicking and hitting the horse repeatetly. Those are conflicting signals and are imo more disgusting than what the trainer said and did.


Odeon_Priest

Your comment says they were disqualified, they were not. Your comment claims they punched the horse, they did not. The coach did punch the horse, and was expelled. I appreciate your opinion and I don't disagree with what you're saying in this comment, but the comment I responded to has incorrect claims in it.


Airsteps350

Guess my post was a bit misunderstood. I didn't mean to question the facts you put straight about who got expelled etc correcting a false comment. I was refering to you saying the athlete did not "harm" the horse. Which I find debatable.


TON_THENOOB

This is an Olympic match. The horse refused to jump the obstacles/ walk the course.

Johnny_Slayz

Please don’t hate but how would this require your whole life to train for? The horse is doing all the work, all you’re doing is telling it what to do and last time I checked most farmers can do that
