FEI & rollkur

for those who haven't seen it:

hyperflexion is bad, LDR is not....

and the man looking sour in the pic is, apparently, Sjeff Janssen...

progress of a sort, one supposes... at least people now can't be seen in public in rollkur without everyone being able to say they shouldn't

one hopes, therefore, the rules will now be enforced.

Molly? didn't come in till about 5.30 pm; gaynor had been out the full day as well and it was still daylight! WOW! shame about the continuing snow showers...

Still seems to be some controversy about exactly what LDR is and how it differs from Rollkur. And, what does it mean for the horse to be "forced" to overflex.

Until all the definitions are set in stone, the rules will be hard to enforce. However, it is a start and a good one.

Snow showers...h-m-m-m. Does that include whiteout conditions, and sero visibility? Consider yourself on the lucky side of the ocean this time. *S*
