a few thoughts here.... 1) online petitions are useless, as they have no power at all.... 2) It's possible some horses can be trained to do this and they actually enjoy it. The emotion one can feel from a horse when they know it's time to go to work is amazing. Literal, bridled emotion ready to come out. 3) Generally, I don't like the idea... I question how they would be trained... that said, if they can prove the horse really truly enjoys it and does it willingly, then power to them.

Damn I would have a petition for the young people riding the horses first..

Seems to me an animal of that size could and would severely hurt someone and young people should not be taking part in such a dangerous act..

Yeah. That is what we need. A law banning young people from riding a horse.

/sarcasm

Sometimes I wonder if anything besides sitting on ones couch will still be legal.

Yah Yah Yah.. Sorry I had to get to my answer the week question thingy..

You know darn well I meant banning young kids riding the horse into such dangerous situations.. :willy_nilly:

Oh. Young kids diving off of a 30 foot or whatever it is platform on horseback into a pool, as a job?

I would think child labor laws would apply. :shrug:
