well yes, and definitely something to not make light of! But I just don't know how to tell people that haven't seen the downhill progression from just a little to full out stomach lurching horse cruelty. On the spectrum of showing a horse painlessly at one end and the worst at the other end, which would be in my opinion big lick walking horses, you can just see so clearly and so obviously icelandic horse showing is about an 8 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being worse) but when you say this people just go on and onnnnn arguing bull about it but then theres the pictures right before their very eyes. Dont they have eyeballs? And to glorify the people who promote and market and breed and raise horses to be treated this way--- that is unconscionable. Its like giving monetary support to promote child molesting. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
