The ASPCA have minders at every significant equestrian event in the country. Trolling for propaganda that will help with their agenda to stop all equestrian activities. Horses are athletes and they have the same sorts of injuries that human athletes experience. Broken legs have very different outcomes with humans on the disabled list and horses put down. Horses just can’t survive a broken canon bone. As for heart defects, they can turn out the same with a dead athlete.
Horses love to compete, just like human and those that participate in sport are well cared for, unlike many “pets” slowly starving in a grassless paddock.

It doesn’t seem very humane to ask an animal to risk its life for one’s entertainment.
