The riders there think nothing of riding their horses, even jumping them, when they are slightly lame. Their horses get hock injections and nerve blocks so they can ride through the pain, or all manner of wraps, support boots, etc. for slightly bowed tendons or to prevent a tendon from bowing again because they insist on doing the same things they did to cause it in the first place. Somehow, people who do this aren't abusing their horses, but heaven forbid you take a stroll around on a horse if you weigh more than x (and I've seen this logic aimed at anyone over 150lbs...) - somebody call the SPCA!
