RE-LIVE | Longines Grand Prix 2023 of Switzerland

Gratidão 😎😄😀😃

Man patīk zirgi tapēc skatos konkūru

Donald Whitaker and di caprio.. 😢😢😢 I wish they came 1st place, but it’s clear that he was also focusing on speed to secure his place in the second round

Beautiful team

Simon Delestre and his bit🤢🤢🤢

Congrats Harrie!

Horse eyes don't focus like human's; they have ramped retinas and have to raise their head to see things at a distance. It's not a great habit for jumping though (their eyes are on the side of their head so they can't judge distance, that's the rider's part.) And so it may look like a horse is "fighting the bit" as they approach a jump when that's not why. Some horses wait for the jump, others want to look.

Some people comment that this is cruel but these are professional riders

I did see some bad things with the reins they were tight so the made the bit hurt the horse but I would say number 2 denis lynch and his horse amazing job😊

Some of the bits used are just cruel. Head tossing, mouths gapping open, tail swishing. It is past time they start disqualifying abusive owners.

very cruel to the horses.

Wow what a leap over the water jump from the horse brilliant😊

Perfect 👍

Awesome 👍
