Beautiful equpiage*🐴 *the danish word for horse & rider as one, I don’t know the English word. A very well ridden round, both of them relaxed & in balance. Pleasant to watch 👌🏼

One day ... all this will come to an end, the painful metal spurs will be banned first (don't say it's how you use them spurs are spurs meant as an 'aid' to cause discomfort/pain to 'drive' the horse forward) ... there will be a gradual transition away from 'sports' like this, same will happen to horse racing - many horses are sent to the slaughterhouse, young, and nothing wrong with them, just don't hit the manmade mark. I wish horses were kept loved and went on loving hacks they love to run free and bond. I say this as someone who has ridden horses all my life. The only time I can hand on heart say I have seen a horse that is happy is when it is free hacking out in nature with someone who truly loves it or with its own companions. Anything less is abuse ... the bits the spurs the high jumps the flat out speed racing. It's barbaric. Bear baiting was once a 'sport' as was badger baiting. Banned now.

This is equine cruelty. No horsemanship here. The stress on the horses body , they were never meant to do this.
