Re: [RC] Horses/Olympics - sharp penny.... so then, how do you explain the 3 day eventing, show jumping , dressage and soon to be reining in the summer olympics? Riders in these events are no more or less atheltes than endurance riders. Contrary to your post it does take training, skill, endurance and all the other things human athletes without a horse have to be at the top end of any equestrian venue. Respectfully, Penny IMHO, the Olympics is for the human, elite athlete. Read the Olympic Oath the athletes take. No where does it say a thing about any other animal athlete competiting to the best of it's abilities with good sportsmanship.
