Why is that stuff tolerated in this day and age? We Americans condemn bullfighting, and rightly so, and applying a whip is not nearly so bad, but it's STILL BAD.

And, while I'm at it, frick the British for their foxhunts.

Because humans beings are huge hypocrites. It just so happens that the majority likes horse racing but doesnt like dog dighting or cock fighting so we made one illegal and the other not. If I whipped my dog in public I may be arrested actually

ETA: I am not comparing the two. Just pointing out how hypocritical we are.

Does it hurt them? I had no idea. It doesn't seem like it would though.

There are rules against over-whipping and leaving marks fwiw.

If you're going to complain about anything related to horses, complain about blinders.

I had to take a crop to my horse today. He was being bad and is much bigger than me and could kill me. I just tapped him, though, to reinforce my leg and get a little bend. Am I horrible and abusive?

Like, literally just tapped him behind my leg. He got the picture and corrected himself.

Just feed them and let them lay around the barn and reproduce like welfare human beings.
Think you can teach them to vote.
