Comments on: ‘No Rollkur’ message from Philippe Karl http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/2010/02/03/no-rollkur-message-from-philippe-karl/ Exploring topics on horse training & welfare Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:16:55 +1200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Allan Buck http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/2010/02/03/no-rollkur-message-from-philippe-karl/comment-page-1/#comment-186 Allan Buck Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:53:49 +0000 http://www.ethicalhorsemanship.com/?p=938#comment-186 Thank you so kindly for the link. It is my hope that the powers that be within our governing bodies would put forth the effort to learn of these injuries. To date not one individual contacted has put forth any effort. It is sad for horses when the mission statements of these organizations places the health and welfare of the horses as the number one issue, and yet these organizations close their eyes and ears to this injury. I hope that the people who do take the time to read the article on tetanic contractions will take the time to contact their organizations to try and establish the holding of a symposium where individuals can acquire the information about the tetanic contractions and some of the simple solutions. Thank you so kindly for the link.

Just some thoughts to ponder; What of the spurs against their sides What of the whips upon their hides What of the metal bits in their mouths What of the pressures we apply to this metal What of the 12 x 12 stalls we force our horses to live in...these are jail cells to them. Yes, it would be a most enteresting enlightenment for us humans.
Just some thoughts to ponder;
What of the spurs against their sides
What of the whips upon their hides
What of the metal bits in their mouths
What of the pressures we apply to this metal
What of the 12 x 12 stalls we force our horses to live in…these are jail cells to them.

I have read and found very valuable, your article on tetanic injuries (muscle injuries due to muscle contractions where the muscle does not return to its 'long' state), which can find at <a href="http://www.hartetoharte.org/" rel="nofollow">www.hartetoharte.org</a>. Recommended reading. Thanks for your input on this, Allan.

It would be interesting to hear what a horse had to day about the rules. If only they could talk! I do suspect there would be quite a lot that we humans do not want to hear. Indeed, Allan.

So under the abuse rule this and long and low and deep should be banned. The great minds of FEI once again make a political decision, not a decision predicated upon the health and welfare of the horse this creates tetanic contractions within the neck muscles of the horses and does diminish the airway size.
