Pet Sport
Horse jumping is an Olympic sport, but poodles jump rings? What is the difference?
I thought they were people Olympics competing with people. Do not compete with their pets …
dog agility contests has NOTHING to do with the Olympics, Steve. Falls, which is the correct name for the sport that you mentioned, requires enormous amounts of skill and hard work on the part of horse and rider. The fences start at 5 and a half feet tall, with 4 to 6 feet spread them, and go up from there. Getting a horse of course, with 2 dozen or more of these faults without jumping fences, a fall, or disobedience of one, enough speed not to exceed the time limit, it is extremely difficult. Have you ever ridden a horse over fences, Steve? Do you know what is required of these guys? Somehow, from your question, I suspect the answer is NO. Another point: the horses are pets NO. They are athletes in every sense of the word, and require months and years of training and hard work to get to the point where they can be mounted and displayed in an event like the Olympics. Most of horses never get that far, that hurt, sold, developed behavioral problems, or get sick and die before they can. Sometimes, even with the best preparation, a horse will not even be able to compete well, or will have to be withdrawn, how the horses ridden by Whitaker Brothers Team Great Britain have been the week. Both animals are in because of injuries and pain-and because this is true, the British have lost their two best riders. U.S. has had its share of ups and also lowered this year, and in 2004, we lost one of the best jumpers show that we had, just after the Games. Royal Kaliber was injured in Athens because that the foot was bad, and was then confined in a post because he was hurt. But his body was not used to this, and your digestive system basically shut down. He colicked (which means that he developed a serious stomach pain, life threatening disease) and underwent surgery to relieve a blockage in his intestines. But it was not enough, because about a week or two after the first surgery, was ill again and this time, veterinarians could not save him. Once discovered I had an inoperable obstruction caused by a twist in the stomach, that euthanasia him on the operating table. Imagine for a moment what Royal pilot, Chris Kappler, must have felt when he received the news that his best friend had died on the operating table. Would you have wanted to be in that position, Steve? In some so, I think NO. How can you say he was just a horse? No, it was only one horse was a courageous athlete who took his rider to an individual silver medal and helped U.S. to win what would eventually be a team gold in the sport, after Germany was disqualified because two of his best horses were positive for banned substances. If a horse like this can be done well, and accomplish much, I do not deserve to be called a "pet." My dog is my "pet", but my horse is an athlete, as well as all horses are.
