Not very nice, but it didn't look that bad at all tbh.

I think I'd rather be head-butted once, rather than being whipped constantly.

He wanted some media attention, look what attention zidane got lol.

I was gonna make that joke

If the horse was hurt he would of killed the jockey most likely, doesn't make it anymore excuseable though.

why should he? who cares its a horse the horse probably didnt even feel it really,

you cant be so narrow minded, they get whiped loads of times every race and no1 complains about that because thats what happens, so when some1 headbutts lol a horse which in all reality is nothing but comedy why the hell does every one start being so petit about it, its no worse than branding cattle or having your god on a choke lead.

its not like he was killing horses to eat them or pitting them against each other in an underground horsebaiting arena

tbh

I'd like to kick a pidgeon. Ever see that Stephen King short film? Ever since I watched it, I've always wondered if they'd make that high pitched squealing noise as you boot them 3ft in the air.

the other thing to bare in mind is - if a horse falls, and breaks a leg, they put it down. how on earth is this cruel in comparison to that?

I punched a seagull once, took about an hour and half a portion of chips to get it, but it was worth it

Indeed, reminds me of that episode of Scrubs. It's interesting that it's not animal rights people or whatever taking action, but the jockey federation (or whatever) themselves.

LOL!

[badass]

I'm going to find an abused dog and kick it.
After all that 1 kick is nothing compared to the abuse it has endured so far.
The cheese nibbler should be better at controlling his temper.

All good points!

Horses in the wild are pack animals (bear with me, I'll get to the point in a sec) and as such they have a heirachy! They bite, kick and rear up at each other to prove dominance, or to discipline a fellow horse that has stepped out of line, on the flip side they can also be very affectionate, scratching each other, nuzzling and blowing on/up each others noses (ala Horse whisperer)etc.

Domestic horses, crave this attention too! The best way of putting a horse at ease when you first "meet" it is to walk straight up to it not looking directly at it, and scratch it on its side at the base of its neck! Disciplining a horse that has been bad involves hitting it normally! If not taught who is boss, they will try and get away with anything, they are clever animals!

All he was doing was telling the horse not to unseat him again, in the horses language!

My Ex-Wife rode horses in the Olympic team, and had 2 of her own, and you learn a few things about horses (Mostly because you get hurt by them!) when you spend 4 years getting up at 5am to go and muck the bloody things out!

What a silly little man.

Why would you do that? He surley would know that he would get punished for doing it.
