One of those cultural things I suppose Susan!  As I watched the video I couldn't help but feel what would happen with just one false step or command on the riders part.  And there just seems to be something so wrong about torturing an animal in a ring that really doesn't have much of a fighting chance.  Chris is right...too hard to watch.

What a shame that the owners feel showing off such a magnificent animal requires the mutilation, torture and death of another magnificent animal.
