  • Rollkur is most definitely abuse of the horse. Abuse by mental abuse ..the learned helplessness form.

    Abuse by yanking on their mouths to get them in the position in the first place - don't say they don't yank because it is quite blatantly not true.

    Abuse because it is limiting their breathing - which has been proved by vets.

    Abuse according to the FEI own admission by keeping the horse in RK for long periods - as has been documented many times.

    Now tell me it's not hurting the horse!!

  • Dont think youve done your job properly! Borstel found that horses are more fearful/dangerous to ride. McGreevy found there was visionary/respiratory impairment. Warendorf found calcifications of vertebrae/skull. Psychologically-conflict behaviours arose, also learned helplessness due to overshadowing of stimulus cues (aids) such as simultaneous [and overt] leg/rein pressure. CAMPAIGN TO STOP IT!

  • @lizzyj9386 The FEI banned rollkur last year.

  • the horse it's tail is very relaxed thouh,

  • I fucking HATE that stupid woman!!!! in fact I hate everyone that treats their horse that way! It does nothing for the animal but forcing it into submisson

  • its sad because other riders see her riding like that and think well if she is doing it I can get away with doing it too. Horrible, Im losing faith in judges and FEI for not taking care of this issue. Lots of money and competitions shouldn't be in front of the horses welfare ever.

  • Its terrible !

  • The most of the horses in the video are ridden in the hyperflexion position....it´s terrible

  • i bet that with these horses that are made to hold their heads in this position for so long, that if you let them stretch their neck out long and low, it would crack so loud!

  • this is bad for horse.
