Chain Reaction...

Came across this through the last post. Not sure about the riding since you don't get to see a lot of it. It just made me lol with the little grey charging about setting off the chesnut, chesnut bombs off and horse number three starts bucking in the background.

That's two down... how many more to go? XD

Somehow I was linked to the most horrific video I have seen on Youtube:

THIS IS AGE RESTRICTED AND IT IS TRULY SHOCKING DEPICTS ACTUAL DEATH OF HORSE- CARRIED OUT IN AN INHUMANE WAY.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDr_s8AzYfU

After more digging I found this report on the same video:

The scene is of extreme cruelty!
At least three young people, likely of Mauritians since heard them distinctly in Mauritian Creole, cut a horse before the eye of a camera.
While one practice a deep gash in the neck of the animal with a sabre, another taken by the reins, and requires it to walk, while the third filmed the scene.
The worst is that on several occasions the clip of a minute and 27 seconds, means young people laugh and clearly take pleasure in their act of barbarism.
First, the Mauritian authorities attempted to stifle the case. They still have in memory the world protest campaign that he had been following the case of the so-called living dogs given as bait for sharks, at the meeting. And the consequences on the image of our island.
But internet is by definition incensurable, and the video is currently already around the world, even though it has been posted for the first time yesterday morning.
And the reactions are not made to wait. Foreign associations for the protection of animals have attracted the attention of the Mauritius Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) on the case and even threatening to start a campaign against Mauritius if the perpetrators of these acts are not arrested and the sanctions against them.
Police started an investigation and a Mauritian website announces that the authors of this monstrous act - which we clearly see the face of two of them - could go on their own initiative, tomorrow, to the police.
Case to follow, therefore...

I honestly don't see the point in linking something like that. It's just revolting, and I don't know anyone who would want to watch it. And it's kind of random to link to it in the comments of a completely unrelated post.

Please take this down...

I'm not even going to watch that. The description is bad enough.
If you want the cruelty on that video to be known in the horse world, I suggest posting it on the Fugly blog, it's a more appropriate place for reporting cruelty cases and it has a rather large number of followers all over the world.
