and we dutch have quite a few olympic gold medals at equastrian via one of best women in equastrian Anky van Grunsven who has lots of respect for these animals
horse racing is just a no no for me and should be forbidden asap

In showjumping the fences are designed to collapse if a horse hits them.
In steeplechasing the fences stay up and the horses collapse.
