Nothing more heartbreaking to see then a gorgeous horse forced to preform while crippled....AQHQ. Is a shameful organization for allowing such abuse to be displayed
Hahahahahahaha u have obviously never worked with AQHAs in the WP industry, this horse is not forced to do this. If he really didn't want to be there, he would not do a single thing this rider is asking of him. Also, he is bred to move slower and trained to use his body unlike many other disciplines.
He's not crippled. He's bred to move like that. He's built to be able to do that weird crippled looking lope and trot, but he's 100% sound. I think it looks really off and unnatural and I hate that your horse has to look crippled and act dead inside to be competitive, but this one definitely isn't in pain. I've seen a few crippled horses showing, but people try to show them in things like roping and barrel racing, events where it's all about speed and not how you do it.
