@DrivenStar Do you consider rollkur abuse? Because it is a proven fact that she trains with that method. You can even tell from the way her horses moves during his tests. Obviously there has to be some truth to the fact that she abuses her horses. Opinions like that of such a highly esteemed person don't just appear out of thin air. More than likely someone has witnessed that first hand.
I am not against eventing or dressage and do both myself, and this a lovely ride, but Anky certainly does abuse her horses. She uses rollkur which is extremely abusive, but it is also why she has come as far as she has.
you all are fighting about divisions and shit being abuse. Not certin diviion in the horse world [jumpers, dresage, blahblah] are abuse. It's the people in it that may abuse their horse, but not the certin sport in the horse world. I've known alot of people in ALL horse sports who DONT abuse. Then again i've known people who..er whats the word, i dont see eye to eye with in their 'tricks' but alot more good people who care alot about their horses then bad people
The cross country phase of eventing is not as dangerous as the stereotype you believe.
Eventing statistically has less falls, injuries , and deaths than hunter/jumpers. Now in hunters and jumpers, the fences are made up of poles, sometimes small lightweight boxes, but mostly lightweight poles. Now can someone tell me why?
Because we know how to ride and take it seriously.
I agree with Twlighlight Cowgirl, Anky wouldn't be as far as she is if she abused her horses.
my friends met her at a camp

As far as FEI allowing rollkur, a ruling has just been made to ban the use of rollkur in warm ups, so obviously they see a problem too.
