It damages the horses neck, why do it if you love horses? Only true horse lovers would prevent and be against it, which I am... Sorry if this come off harsh! <3 I think rollkur is a cruel thing.

Please keep me posted on that, as I would be interested in reading more as well as passing it along to others. As I've mentioned, I feel this topic is important, not just to dressage folks, but to ALL riders at top level competition. We have all witnessed some form of this type of abuse at one point or another and this issue should springboard onto other similar issues.

I read a little something that said they were cracking down on it with the stewards but didnt realize it wasnt a concrete step. That sucks! I was actually going to do a post about it, maybe I will this week.... public presure has to be the key. Good for you!

It's taking me longer to do this one b/c it's a deeper look at the issue. A few of my blog pieces have been reprinted on Dressage Disgrace, with my permission - so already it does feel like we're all combining forces and widening the net. Thanks for doing this here. And I love that photo!!
