based fellow /horsedance/ enjoyer
>>142945882that'll make all the posh animal abusers who paid the Big Bucks to get fake medals shoved up their already overpriviliged arses feel right at home. Any chance of a guillotine round?
>>142947395>Any chance of a guillotine round?the french revolution marked the downfall of western civilization
>>142947426We just ripped off yours, so you're to blame
>>142945882I will never respect the horse events until they stop giving the medals to the riders and give them to the horses instead.
>>142947426No it didn't
kino
Went to Versailles and it's incredibly impressive. That garden is so fucking massive and after awhile you barely see anyone. Gorgeous place
>>142945882Same
>>142947868horses wouldn’t be able to do shit without the riders
>>142953733I mean, they could. But the question is, would they?
>>142953733For how many Olympic events do they put the coaches up on the podium to receive the medals?
>>142953733the opposite is even more true
>>142954271a lot of the rowing events have it. can you spot him?
>>142955104No imagine how fucking stupid it would look if it was only the coxswain up there.
>>142947295For me it's /horseyjump/. Mainly because we're good at it.
>>142956307oh I agree that both athletes should get a medal
>>142945882*an horse is a athlete
>>142955104me on the right
Will be the peak of equestrian in our lifetimes
>The cross country test will take place in wooded areas of the Park, along the banks of and across the Grand Canal. Visitors to the Park rarely walk through these areas and works to clear the woods had to be conducted. These have made them sounder and have improved their overall condition thus leaving a positive legacy for the estate.
an horse confirmed for a athlete
>>142947747You funded ours as a proxy war
>>142947426>>142947747>>142962538All of those posts are right
>>142945882Why does the Olympics have everything but horse racing?
>>142962591because horse racing is heckin animal abuse or something!
>>142962591Horse racing is so international it would be hard to implement. But desu I'm surprised they still have equestrian events with the aim to push for sporting equality. Equestrian is a purely white sport.
>>142962591Because horse racing goes hand and hand with gambling. It's like the whole point. You walk into a horse track the main thing is big room where you put all your bets in. You don't see that when you attend any other legal sporting event
>>142963009The ones from South America look pretty white - Chile, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, ArgentinaBut all these are in equestrian in Paris tooJapan (six with Japanese names)China (Sun Huadong)China (Hua Tian)Korea (Young-Shik Hwang)Thailand (Janakabhorn Karunayadhaj)Singapore (Pei Jia Chew)India (Anush Agarwalla)Saudi Arabia (3 with Muslim names)UAE (3 with Muslim names)Egypt (Nayel Nasser)Morocco (Yessin Rahmouni)Morocco (Noor Slaoui)

>>142947426retarded post every european country 'exept pigs) peaked in the XIX and XXth centuryit's germany's fault as always
>>142962591H*man supremacists seethe because everyone acknowledges who the real athlete is in horse racing.
>>142967605is it the vet or the lab scientist?
>>142963009>Equestrian is a purely white sport.can someone tell him?

The surfers' olympic village is literally a cruise ship. That's pretty cool, and intelligent. I'm surprised.
>>142945882>a horse is an athleteDo horses receive medals?
>>142971882>Everything of value was built pre Revolution
Where the fuck do you even watch the Olympics anymore? When I was a kid, they were just on TV on every channel and the entire country followed them. Now you have to pay to watch them on some random website no one knows about. No wonder no one gives a shit about them anymore.
>>142945882>a horse is an athleteI wonder what happened to that retarded horse from like 4 years ago, star boy was it?
>>142973211Probably became lasagna

How did Superman/Christopher Reeves get paralyzed?his coach invited him to go to the Dressage finals at the Commonwealth Park equestrian center in Culpeper, VA. Reeve finished in fourth place out of 27 in the dressage, before walking his cross-country course. He was concerned about jumps 16 and 17 but paid little attention to the third jump, which was a routine three-foot-three fence shaped like the letter 'W'.Witnesses said the horse began the third fence jump and suddenly stopped. Reeve fell forward off the horse, holding on to the reins. His hands became tangled in them, and the bridle and bit were pulled off the horse. He landed head first on the far side of the fence, shattering his first and second vertebrae. The resulting cervical spinal injury paralyzed him from the neck downand halted his breathing. Paramedics arrived three minutes later and immediately took measures to get air into his lungs. He was taken first to the local hospital, before being flown by helicopter to the University of Virginia Medical CenterAfter five days, he regained full consciousness. His doctor explained to him his first and second cervical vertebrae had been destroyed and his spinal cord damaged.bHe was paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe without a ventilatorThe operation to reattach his skull to his spine in June - John A. Jane performed surgery. He put wires underneath both laminae and used bone from Reeve's hip to fit between the C1 and C2 vertebrae. He inserted a titanium pin and fused the wires with the vertebrae, then drilled holes in Reeve's skull and fitted the wires through to secure the skull to the spinal columnIn rehab he learned skills such as operating his sip-and-puff electric wheelchair by blowing air through a strawReeve continued to require round-the-clock care for the rest of his life, with a team of 10 nurses and aides working in his home
>>142947395Do you also think sheepdogs are animal abuse?
>>142982637when the 'sportsperson' jumps on board with a pair of spurs and starts whipping the shit out of the poor sheepdog in a completely fucking pointless demonstration of 'animal obedience', all so they can get a medal shoved up their cretinous arse..?- well, you tell me.
