This is a little known fact to equestrians, but jumping on a horse can actually cripple them.

Yes, jumping on a horse tears up the tendons in their legs, which is why people use leg wraps when jumping. Of course a wild horse jumps but not over twenty pounds a day with a saddle and rider on their back and a bit in their mouth.

A lot of riders just hide behind the "oh my horse loves it!" Which really just shows how naive they are. Yes, some horses can enjoy jumping but not all horses do.

That's a lot of weight going over a big jump, not to mention the metal bar in their mouth that's offering nothing but discomfort. And when the horse trips on a jump, then can go down with the bars and their rider, which can probably break a leg if they're high enough.

Honestly people, it's not hard. Don't jump your horse and keep them out of all this danger. They're not wild, they don't need to jump but they will if their life depends on it, and jumpers are making them do it for blue ribbons, shinny trophies and titles. It makes me sick.
