Is making a horse dance really an Olympic Sport?

[mountainsport]

They call it dressage, but it simply amounts to posh people on horseback making an animal dance for their own titillation.

How ever this cruelty found its way into the Olympics I will never understand. What next, Olympic bull fighting or badger-baiting?

Disgusting.

tillson, my friend I totally totally agree with you on that. I hope that these people will one day get serious and stop horsing around. You say cruelty, but how about the word discrimination? I am sure that if given the chance a donkey and a mule would also like to take part in that dancing category.

MS.

How I agree Jim. I cannot fathom why millions want to watch anything like that, or the BBC 1 mind that fathomed they would.

Well you are not alone, that's for certain. Mine is the more isolated view on TV programs, dismissing so many of the most popular as TV trash.
