Guys, really, if you don't like this, then go watch something else.
They don't whip the horse like you think.
They whip on the blankets to make noise, so the horse won't lose his speed.

I don't much like the whip either. Fortunately, suspensions and fines are given for overuse. As well it should be. By the way, I love videos like these. You really get a feel of the excitement and intensity of going that fast on a horse. It's refreshing seeing it from a riders point of view.

@tata3352 he's not hitting the horse otherwise the horse head would rise more as a reaction he is swinging his arm to create an whip action.

I don't understand why it's still allowed to hit the horse during a competition. Very old fashioned and unnecessary.
