Sad to see you feel that the death of someone or something makes an already interesting sport the only thing interesting to you.
However, I guess the thing is if your a horse person, no matter what type of riding style, you just appreciate the synchronicity between horse and rider, to see the non verbal communication, the absolute order and neatness of the entire thing...
I just love it!!!!
Favourite sport ever
Just jokes Nevah, didn't mean to offend (i obviously don't actually want to see anybody get injured)
While i acknowledge that there is insane amounts of skilld required to get a horse to do what dressage riders do, i just don't think "absaloute order and neatness" make for a good spectator sport.
Riskers gamble, experts calculate.

Do you not like it benny the cunt?
it is quite boring, but thats not why i donk like it
the reason i don't like it, is because winning a gold medal doesn't necessarily mean you are the best rider out there, it obviously depends a hell of a lot on your horse.
this is not to say that the riders aren't very very skillid at what they do, because this is obviously the case
i think this compromises what the olympics is all about - swifter stronger higher - it is not mano-e-mano so to speak.
to give half a gold medal to a horse is not right in my opinion.

I'm always saying "Dutch Wink" & "hello boys"
I'm not perfect. I'm what perfect aspires to become
