    i had to look up “dressage.” that it’s dumb and pointless doesn’t matter, but apparently it’s not possible without animal abuse? people are so fucking stupid

      Arguably all Olympic sports are dumb and pointless and don’t matter.

      I will accept my internet chastisement now.

        i mean i agree, i don’t watch or follow a single sport, olympic or not.

        but whipping animals for showing off stupid horse tricks just seems dumber and pointlesser to me…i say the same thing about dog shows, but at least i don’t hear about dogs being whipped for it
