Question by x. Riley .x: Horse Racing?
I have recently watched the movie “Pharlap” which was based ona true story. After finishing watching it, I realised that horse racing can be really cruel to the horses. I saw how hard they pushed the horse, made him sick, and how the crowd would ‘poison’ or hurt him if he lost or in fact even won a race. Does anyone agree with me? That horse racing is cruel?

Question by Rickys_Jellybean: How to train an unbroken horse with good ground manners?
I recently acquired a six year old mare who is not broke to ride however has good, steady, and sturdy ground manners. I have a trainer however I would like the opportunity to train the horse myself, due to the bonding process which occurs. I know where to start, however I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions towards the schooling of this beautiful mare. I really would like to eventually use her for barrel racing, so any suggestions/tips/hints as to the techniques to use/incorporate into her training would be highly appreciated. Any suggestions for literature?

Start by putting the saddle on and walking the horse around. Be careful because when you tighten the cinch she might buck. Next you just have to get on and maybe have someone try to lead you around while you are sitting on her. Then attempt to steer her with the reins. For barrel racing I would practice walking in tight circles and around objects so that she steers well. Take you time and don’t start running her too soon, it might take awile before she is ready for anything fast, or anything other than walking:) Good Luck!

Question by barrel racer: Horse racing?
ok in the section “horse racing” on here…..the only thing people are asking is why people kill horses when they break their legs because of the breeders cup accident. theres like 20 questions that are asking that……are they just too stupid to scroll down and look at the other answers instead of asking it again, because their asking the same question their just going to get the same answers.

Question by coolperson: Bull Fighting?
Who thinks bull fighting is wrong to do?
Best answer:
Answer by Cristina U
It is one of the most horrific blood sports in the world. First they stab the bull with “banderillas” which are polls with very sharp steel points. This is basically to make the bull angry. Sometimes, they bullfight riding horses and when the horses get gorged, it’s horrible. I don’t agree with this or any other type of animal abuse.
