Stolen from another forum, where it sparked off a lively debate!

Personally, I think the rider is very good in the situation and they're handling a very tricky horse well. Without any more information its hard to judge anything else, but there were a few people who immediately jumped on the 'OMGZ horse abuse' wagon.
Currently its not known if this is the horses first ride or not, I don't think it is, I think he might have been messed up before, or just turned out to have this issue, and was sent to these guys. Other people thought it was his first ride and he's just a nutter.
What do you think? Possibly some Good_Riding?
