I watched the movie "Wild Hearts Can't be Broken" and got really interested in diving horses. I think it's really cool. Hope you like it!

Also, if you would like to comment I ask that you please be nice in commenting. I didn't post this video for a debate on whether this is animal abuse or not. I posted this for a little bit of history. So, if you feel to the need to comment about your feelings I ask that you please state them in a nice way. Remember the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. :-)

  • "The diving horses act was dangerous. No one, even its strongest fans and supporters denied that. The question is, was it more dangerous than many of our horse sports today? Thoroughbred racing, eventing, steeplechasing, etc., are all very dangerous to horse and rider. Many animal-rights advocates say that they should all be abolished. Most horses love their jobs. They love to run, jump, cut cows, etc. There were a lot of people involved who wrote that the diving horses loved their job, also."

  • In all the years Senora Webster Carver was diving horses, the horses were never injured. The SPCA was constantly around and never found any abuse or cruelty. Horses are very intelligent creatures and they would not have jumped if they did not want to, especially repeatedly. The Carvers never used any devices or whips or anything to get them to jump. Maybe it doesn't seem natural but it seems to me that they enjoyed it or they wouldn't have done it.

  • To byl sport??

  • The horses that jumped were not forced, some of the horses wouldn't jump, they would just turn around and go back to their stall. The owners made sure the horses were safe, Red-Lips loved jumping. It was not Carver's fault that she went blind, neither was the horse's fault. Bullfighting kills the bull, horses in racing are staved to make them lighter, same as dog racing. Think about those, they force the animals to do it, but the Diving Horses loves their jobs. Do your research, please.

  • stop arguing all i know is no horse was never igered, and its right to belive in whatever u wont

  • Humans are cruel to Earthlings.

  • Never Said owning a Dog, Cat, or Horse was cruel! So your wrong by trying to tell people what they Believe. The Context is a High Diving Horse that caused a young girls Blindness. She got what she deserved it's called Karma and I don't care if you believe in anything@all but Humans are No Doubt Cruel to Earthlings as we slaughter them all. Just because you give your pets a loving home does not take away from the reality that Million will be Gassed every year like Jews in a Concentration Camp.

  • @gregawsimo so u belive owning a dog or cat or horse is cruel? Ive played with my cat and my dog and my horse and every time i was amused.... my dog as gralling and rolling all over but he was waging his tail... my cat was biteing my hand but she was purring... my horse was following me around and troting after me like he was gonna mess me up but when he got me all he did was bump me with his nose and trot around me... its cruel if the animal isnt amused.
