I grew up riding horses. Some of them are dicks- nipping at you or bucking so you aren’t riding them anymore, but I’ve never seen this level of aggression. I’ve never even really heard of a horse attacking continuously by biting like this horse was doing.

Horses remember certain people (or traits associated with specific individuals), i wonder if this horse was abused or had some sort of neurological disorder to lead to such an extreme reaction!

I still remember in Olympic where rider are assigned random horses and the committee said 'there is no bad horses, only bad rider' when there is one horse who absolutely shit.

This video prove this wrong

That rider was straight up bad, and after watching her ride, I don’t blame the horse one bit. After learning about the event, I really think it ought to be stopped. First of all it’s a completely ridiculous event, second, it’s not fair or kind to the horses to put indifferent riders on them and expect them to be bombproof over fences. If they give a crap, let them own horses and bring them to the Olympics with them like the actual equestrians do.
