I can't say that I will be following you although it is a good idea. But still hardly any gives a crap about Equestrian. How is that even a sport?

You do know horse racing is Equestrian.

So? Horse racing is just cruelty to animals. All they do is beat the crap out of the horse with a whip to make the horse run

If you know anything about horses then you would know that isn't the case. Even though I highly dislike horse racing; they are only permitted to use the crop a certain amount of times during a race.

If a tonne and a half horse didn't want to do anything, then I can assure you that it wouldn't do it. After a couple of races the horses know what is coming, hence why they don't use the crop out of the starting gate. If the horses were really that tight and worked up about it, they wouldn't let the rider on in the first place.

The true meaning of the crop is to 'backup leg aids'.

So its ok to hit a horse even of it is just a certain amount of times?

I don't get it... is this run by the FIA or you? If its run by you then it isn't official and there's no way you can claim otherwise, unless you're an employee of the FIA.
