There is plenty of rotten apples in the equestrian world.

Alot of pictures were taken by amateurs at the JBK horse show in Odense (Denmark) this weekend and shared on facebook, this blogpost was also posted: http://starstonestenfalk.wordpress.com/2014/05/21/jbk-festival-torture-like-in-the-dark-ages-anything-goes-in-the-equestrian-sport/

I highly recommend everyone to read this and look at the pictures, and take a stance. Is this okay? should we really just sit down and be quiet and not talk about these extreme methods used here? not even to talk about the equipment used....

Some of the pictures (borrowed from: http://starstonestenfalk.wordpress.com/):

Barring is illegal? But apparently no Steward commented on this.

I think it is grotesque to see these kind of methods still used in this day and age. You would think people would know better.
