This is actually quite a common sight with Showjumping It's because it's a lot about class and money, and if you get a very good horse, a good rider isn't necessary for a clear round. And, of course, it's not judged for horsemanship. At the higher levels, you get very caring, talented riders, but it's at the 1m - 1m30 classes like these that you find the cruelty...
