THE CRUELTY OF EQUESTRIAN SPORT ["NEVZOROV HAUTE ECOLE"]

The cruelty of equestrian sport TYPES, METHODS, AND THE NATURE OF THE CRUEL TREATMENT OF HORSES

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE

horse revolution

As you look through this small collection of typi­ cal photographs of equestrian sport and oth­ er human activities which involve horses, you could consider where does the greatest human cruelty and dishonesty come from. And you probably would answer that it is the «iron» in the horse’s mouth.

But this wouldn’t be completely true.

Look closely at these photographs: at the faces of the horses writhing with pain and fear, at their tormented eyes, at their bodies blasting with muscular strain, at their mouths and legs pouring with foaming saliva and sweat. Look at the human faces disfigured with anger and fear.

Try to ask yourself honestly: – Why humans do these kinds of things to creatures who think and feel as much as humans do?

– What is the purpose of this now, in the 21st century, when savagery should belong to the past?

We will give you an answer at the end of this atlas of cruelty. An now – look and consider...

There is a great myth of sportsmen that says that all of these photos are trivial and that there are no such things in real equestrian sport. But its not true. This Atlas contains photographs of what champions and masters of sports do. All the pho­ tographs here are typical and you can easily verify it if you’ll visit any equestrian event with your own camera. None of these photos were processed via Photoshop. They are all true facts.

RACING

Common myth:

Speed trials are the only way to improve the breed and to stimulate the biological evolution of a horse.

Horses love to race, they exhibit ardor and a desire to win.

Truth:

Standard racecourse. Of course, all of these horses are very young. Of course, they’re panicking.

Their death has already started for them. Loving horse owners, following the strict and accepted practices of horse racing, tie down the horses’ tongues to the lower jaw with pieces of stockings or nylon ropes. (With this idiotic practice they prevent the horse from any chance of using tongue movement to resist the painful and paralyzing action of the bit and other specific kinds of iron.)

The tearing of the hind limb (in this particular case), in the jockeys’ slang, “crushing out”. This can (and must) happen because of the enormous overloading of the horse’s organism due to the speed and panic, and also as the result of a tiny stumble. In the photos on this page we can see the tearing out, the partial separation of the distal epiphysis, the partial destruction of the joint. The common

The lateral collateral ligament is at the stage of tearing. The bone of the first phalanx is crushed. In the top photo we can see one of the phases of the gallop with the digging of the crushed first phalanx bone into the ground, and after that the phase of the full tearing of the collateral tendon begins.

Normal racecourse speeds are fatal for a horse. Every horse has myological and physiological selfregulation laws, which always reduce the speed or even stop the horse. Even a typical racecourse speed is destructive to a horse’s limbs, and also leads to exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH, or “bleeding”) and obstruction of breathing. But jockeys need the speed to be even faster

Truth:

Today there are about 400 extensively used hippodromes in the world. These arenas dispose of hundreds of thousands of horses during each racing season. And for the next season the racing industry needs hundreds of thousands of new young horses instead of the ones who are still alive but can’t run any more to earn its keep. The industry needs new victims to replace the ones who died on the track, the ones who died of colics after doping overdoses; the ones who were put down, slaughtered or shot because they were "unsuitable" for further use.

SHOW JUMPING, EVENTING Common myth:

Horses enjoy competing in sports.

They love to run and jump with a rider on their back. Only while ridden can a horse exercise and unite with a human.

Truth:

There is a great illusion that in sports, pleasure, or work, whether harnessed or ridden, the horse is controlled by the human. This is incorrect. The horse is controlled by PAIN. There are special basic methods that with «correct» application guarantee success in the business of equine sport (ES).

ES success lies ONLY in the mastery of these methods, their constant improvement, and in their extremely ruthless application. All these methods cause unbearably painful effects in the mouth, and to the neurological system of the head, and destroy the whole physiological and anatomic system of the horse. Every rider must have an appropriate level of "blindness" to the sufferings of a horse.

Method N.1. For verbal clarification of the actions that are presented in convincing photographic evidence in this article, representing the primary techniques that enable the obedience of a horse in ES; these are considered to be common practice by all criteria and are most appropriately called “NEUROCRANIALIS SHOCK (shock of nerve system of skull). In the use of method N.1, we see a very rigid rein grab with one hand and a very strong pull by the other hand, which is so powerful that half of the bit rushes through the horse’s mouth, and the rider’s elbow goes back as far as it is possible. This sharp elbow movement increases the leverage force of the bit accordingly, and results in an especially severe and painful blow to the left or right part of horse’s skull.

Method N. 2 represents an even sharper direct blow by the bit, over all the sensitive areas of horse’s mouth. As a rule, every horse who has been forced this way, tries to weaken the effect of the blow by tossing its head up.

The purpose of both methods considered above, that are the basic methods of ES, is to «inflame» the entire innervational system of skull (namely, all the sensitive and «mixed» nerves from 12 pairs of facial nerves) by a sharp painful impact.

DRESSAGE Common myth:

Dressage is a harmonious partnership between two happy athletes.

It is the highest art of horsemanship, the highest degree of the horse’s own development.

32 NEVZOROV HAUTE ECOLE

horse revolution

© Nevzorov Haute Ecole

Truth:

In accordance with all requirements and qualifying standards of any type of dressage, the horse is forced into false collection (with a violently flexed poll and engaged hindquarters) by means of special devices, lever force and other forms of pain. The first consequence of false collection is the full or partial crushing of parotid salivary gland.

NEVZOROV HAUTE ECOLE 33

The chemical composition of saliva changes as the parotid glands - the largest of the salivary glands – are crushed and necrotized as a result of forced collection. The mandibular gland which, relatively speaking, does not suffer as severely, emits a seromucous secretion and its excess upsets the balance of chemicals in the saliva composition. Saliva tests of sport horses reveal cardinal differences between the saliva of a sport horse and that of normal saliva! Acute stresses from pain and the effect of the bit, wh ich is unavoidable in the life of every sport horse, leads to ulcers. Gastritis, colitis, and ulcers lead to colic, which causes death.

Due to forced collection, injury of the atlantooccipital membrane is unavoidable. As soon as the membranes are torn (and this is the inevitable sequel to collection) the defense mechanism that protects the spinal cord is lost.

During the course of experiments the degree of traumatic pressure to the tongue of the horse emerged. The main pressure of the bit acts upon places where the lingual nerve (lingualis) plexus is located. The bit causes a pressure on the tongue of 100 kg per square centimeter (this is with an ordinary rein tension; the rein acts as a connection for the bit of course). A jerk intensifies the pressure and it reaches 250–300 kg per square centimeter. What can the curb chain do, a very standard curb chain on a standard curb bit? The curb chain applies pressure to the bone and nerve at an amount of more than 300 kg per square centimeter!

Besides the ever-popular rollkur collection seen in modern dressage, (see photo at the right), the hyperflexion of the horse's neck paralizes the neck and spinal muscles; its a false collection which leads to the full destruction of the cervical spine, to the full blindness of the horse and to the collaps of all systems of the horse's organism.

Diastema is the place which the bit effects. Here the most sensitive part of trigeminal nerve is located. There is no submucosal layer on the diastema and the bit affects the nerve directly.

The nerve is supersensitive. The bit beats and presses right on this place causing a horse «acute, burning, paralyzing» pain.

It is easier to the horse to move while in harness than while ridden.

The harnessed horse is free of the rider’s weight.

Driving is an easy and pleasant walk, healthy fitness and entertainment for the horse.

Because of the constant fixed abnormal position of the head, the vertebrae are being deformed, pinching the spinal cord. Physiologists characterize the pain resulting from this as practically unendurable.

Truth:

The cowboys were romanticized and cinematographized in a way that the facts of the real history were shyly withheld. And the truth is that on a Western cattle ranch a horse was nothing more than a «mobile piece of meat». Modern «cowboys» deliberately and fondly remodel the horse tortures which were never considered tortures in the time of the real cowboys. They weren’t even considered «roughness» and haven’t been classified at all because you can’t apply the word «torture» or the word «roughness» to the living but cheap piece of cattle-working equipment which a horse was to a human in those days and still is, as we can see, today.

RIDING SCHOOLS, LIVERY,RENT, AMATEUR HORSE-OWNERS Common myth:

Only through riding can a human have a relationship with a horse. Riding develops a horse physically and mentally. It gives a horse an opportunity to “selfactualize” and to “live an interesting life”.

A horse loves amateur sports and the “good hands” of nonprofessionals. Kids learn kindness and the ability to feel and understand an animal while visiting riding schools.

Truth:

Usually, adequate parents teach their kids to understand the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. Still in equestrian sport that truth is turned upside down without any reason. What is the difference if someone teaches a child to torture a horse or to torture a cat, a dog, a brother, a feeble old lady? Most are considered wrong, but the first is considered to be normal and to be the right of the free man in this branch of entertainment – equestrian sport and other entertainments which involve horses. Small kids begin their study when they take a whip. They take it to beat another being. They learn to put the bit into the horse’s mouth with their small hands. They do it to cause pain ably and successfully. They learn to make another being obey them…

Violence is ingrained in these children, teaching them to find pleasure in sadism and considering it to be normal and acceptable. Society, by its own hand, traumatizes the psyche of these kids, and destroys their personalities. Violence which has become so normal and acceptable for them, will later be carried over to human relations.

The final answer: In the XXI century the use of a horse is not a vital necessity for a human.

Humans cause pain, torture and kill horses only for FUN. It is always violent, senseless and disgusting.

It deprives the society it belongs to of the status of being called civilized.

Those who are involved in horse-using activities also deprive themselves of the right to be considered mentally sane persons.
