There are #Olympics sports that I love and Olympic sports that I hate, but there's only one class of Olympic sports to which I am absolutely opposed: Equestrian.
I guess I'm OK with dressage. It's little more than teaching your dog to do little tricks and it's probably a fun interaction with a pet. But an Olympic "sport"? Nah.
Meanwhile, cross-country or jumping? All I have to see is horses that refuse to take any particular leap to know that this is not fair to the animals. …

… So, I tell ya what: You want to leap obstacles and run through water that bad, go turn out for steeplechase. You can do that to yourself. Don't make an animal do it.
(I won't even get into the class issues with the "sport.")
@Ruthat I hadn't heard that, but good. That's progress.
