I understand. I’m a rider and horse lover myself.
I thought it important to give her a fair consideration before picking up my pitchfork and torch and joining the mob ;~)
It's important, except when it's sOOOOOOOO obvious what happened. I don't see how you can defend it. Really. I'm not really being deliberately confrontational...I'm just very surprised. You don't think it's obvious that she knew, that she should have known, that she urged the horse on even after she knew...and even after that she deserves "fair consderation"???? You said yourself, "at the least she was in denial"...If that's the case you don't think she should be pitchforked and torched:)...And I never said that anyway, I just think they should break her leg and make her take a jump.

I just posted a thread on the FEI decision in the case of Amy Tryon and the injury to her horse Le Samurai.
