The Olympic games must be renewed.

The Olympics have already passed, and they passed without really leaving anything positive, rather it was the opposite; German trainer Kim Raisner was suspended for hitting a frightened horse with her fist when it refused to compete while signaling the jockey Annika Schleu to hit him harder with the strong to make him obey, this in a modern pentathlon competition. at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The trainer was suspended for hitting a horse with her fist, while the riders always have ONE STRONG in hand to hit them while they compete, that is, she was suspended for not using the appropriate tool to hit them; I think that if you asked the horse, it would tell you that it prefers that you hit it with your hand, because it is very small compared to its physiology, on the other hand, the FUETE is a tool specially designed to inflict pain.

The horses they used for the pentathlon test only had 20 minutes to live with their riders, did not know this information (who dares to compete with a horse that is not theirs?) And some believe that the decoration could be the culprit that several Competitors lost score when they reached the obstacle of the sumo wrestler and the horses refused to jump which is quite reasonable, you turn around and you run into a man in loincloth, crouching about to attack, with a hostile attitude, I would run away like wind.

Some horses not only did not want to finish the test, but got rid of their load in the process, forgive me if I am not moved by the tears of this competitor, especially when the media portrays the incident in this way.

“That behavior of an animal is too cruel, everything she fought for escaped her because of this horse”

“Uncooperative horses kill competitors' dreams in the strangest event of the Olympics”

If it bothers you so much not to have control of your participation in a competition, perhaps you should try not to do it on top of someone you force to do it for you, in fact the act of riding is a completely unilateral decision, horses can be trained not to resist, but one thing if I tell you there is not a single horse that enjoys being ridden, no matter how many movies romanticize them, from the moment you get on a horse he is just waiting for the moment when you get off and if you You are left without a medal because the horse decided that it had enough, excuse me if I don't feel bad for the riders, I can't.

I was surprised that when reviewing articles that were around 50 articles about horsemanship in the 2020 Olympic games, two articles spoke about the horse that they injured and then killed, ironically its name was "Jet Set" the expression used for the upper social class that is used to to travel by plane and that resonates with the "comforts" that they boasted so much in social networks, that the 325 horses of the Olympic games had on the flights that took them to Japan, jet-set probably still suffered from jet lag after a flight So long to a destination, with such a different schedule, he is injured in the participation of the Swiss rider Robin gödel, they take him to the veterinary hospital with an irreparable ligament tear and they decide to kill him.

It must be clarified that irreparable really refers to the fact that the surgery to heal it costs more money than they wanted to spend on an animal that they literally forced to train as a high-performance athlete all their life, that they are not willing to dedicate the resources and time to their rehabilitation and they prefer to kill it and discard it as an object in Japan because why do they want to pay for the return transport of a sick horse, all the romanticism of the bond between the horse and the rider dies there, when it becomes clear that they are only seen as a tool to win medals, trophies and money.

I find it especially obnoxious because these are sports of rich people, you cannot participate in horse riding, it is a prohibitively expensive sport for 99% of the people and at the same time to say that they do not have the resources to give the attention to the animal that forces them to work very hard, for your own benefit.
