  • No, that's okay! Riding crops are used in a lot of disciplines, it just depends on the equestrian. I've never used them, as I grew up with the new way of riding. There's a documentary you should watch, it's called Buck. the guy is like magic, and one of my favorite things he says is 'if you can ride with 90% mental, and 10% physical, you're better off.' I believe that wholeheartedley, and I try to do exactly that. He also says to operate on the same wavelength on a horse 'to operate on a feel'.

    As far as horse racing goes, i'm convinced they're all evil people. Anyone who makes an animal run until it's legs break or it's heart bursts can crawl up and die a horrible death for all I care.

    • Nah I don't see how they could be. Even if they're not that painful (which I'm sure they are if they're used for BDSM stuff), it'd still be unpleasant for the horse. Using pain to get a horse to do what you want is anything but a loving respectful relationship in my eyes.
