Kevin Carr's Gloves 4042 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Aye, Calzaghe should have won it. Button was up for it on the basis he FINALLY won a race. In Zara Phillips defence (and this is hard for me to say as I fucking hate the Royals), she is actually World Champion at her sport, even if it is the shittest sport on the planet. Yes thats true. BUT i fecking HATE any 'sport' that involves horses. I know im probably being totally unreasonable and totally unfair to the horse owners/trainers/jockeys.....but i think ALL horsey sports are cruel I have no real reason for this, except i just cant stand to watch it. Better looked after than most livestock I would imagine. Believe me if a horse doesn't want to do something they won't I have the bruises to prove it.

I agree though I think in nature most horses would run about, jump and so on and so forth and many would eventually go lame through injury. They probably get better treatment than most animals by and large. I must have missed that episode of Planet Earth where 20 odd horses all run as fast as they can at hedges, walls etc and then try and jump over them at once.

Yeah, they same pretty well looked after and well loved. Losing their privates is a downside, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have missed that episode of Planet Earth where 20 odd horses all run as fast as they can at hedges, walls etc and then try and jump over them at once. I didnt say they'd choose to do that tbf. I just meant that in nature they'd definitely all run about, jump etc etc and many would sustain injury and they'd all die as a result. In fact they'd die from injuries and ailments that they wouldnt do as a consequence of the attendant veterinary treatment of the racing/equestrian industry. I'm not a fan of horse sports btw so I'm not making excuses or trying to justify it. Just stating facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I dont disagree with people having horses for pets and riding them for recreation and exercise purposes. I meant using horses for competitive sports is what i cant stomach. I live near Dartmoor, where you can see the horses and ponies running wild, yes, its probably a harsh life up on the moor during winter, but they are free. Its a stunning sight to see them an all.

Guest alex Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Having said all that, is there anything more boring than Horse Racing? Jesus wept. It's so dull you can't comprehend watching a race where you haven't had a bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far less cruel than transporting livestock large distances though, which happens all the time in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the cream first then the jam. (Or lemoncurd as i prefer) Im not keen on strawberry jam, if i have jam, it has to be blackcurrant, plum or seedless raspberry.

Any other way is anarchy tbh. Empires have crumbled for less. One way is Cornish and the other way is Devonian iirc. I'd probably go jam then cream though tbh.
