all shall perish, thus is time – firstly, have you ever ridden a horse?

secondly – do you have a minor understanding of the rules in dressage? not only the event in which you are competing, but also in the way that both horse and rider are presented to the judges which are based on Posture, dress presentation and how well the horse has been maintained e.g groomed and shod – ?

have you ever competed at an equestrian event?

i’d like to understand how you have come to the conclusion that the horse does all the work.

I have ridden stock and in competitive equestrian events at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, the training that i was put through was pretty vigorous and demanding, up at 5am and finish at 3pm every Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday for 3 years, to say that the horse does all the work is stupid, it DOES do the majority in competition because of the training that the horse has received, i aint seen any horses shodding themselves recently, have you?
