@kahawiaa i couldnt AGREE with you any more !

@kahawiaa and how exactly do you know this? were you the horse?
-
These horses did not enjoy this. They weren't capable of backing out. They were tripped, electrically prodded, and forced by fear. If any of you know anything about horses, you know that no horse would willingly jump 60+ ft into water "to show off for crowds".

Never once was a horse injured, just the riders. Like Sonora Webster Carver went blind from landing in the water with her eyes opened.

@WA2JSG I remember her first name was Sonora, there's also a film about her life, it's called 'wild hearts can't be broken'

In the Sands Casino in Atlantic City (before it was torn down), at the restaurant, there was a large picture of a girl on a diving horse. Her picture is very similar to the girl you show near the beginning of your video, and I was wondering if she was the same girl. Anyone know her name?

Do this still happen?
These horses loved to jump and show off for the crowds, it was their lives. The human divers were the ones that received the injures not the horses and if people tried to do some research (like this wonderful thing called reading) before calling it animal cruelty, they would know better. The S.P.C.A. was always trying to catch them on cruelty charges but never could because the horses were so will cared for.

im sure you cannot make a horse do something if it is truly against it. but this is a very dangerous stunt for bot horse and rider, so i am relieved it is no longer performed.
