I think you Americans need your front lobes putting back.....This is about as stupid as George Bush running your country.
I agree from Amanda fom Bath. I think it's disgusting, your not thinking about the horses well fare. Stupid stupid people!
This is SICK and seriously disturbing! How anyone would want to start this barbaric act once again is beyond me, and in 2012 when we are meant to have such strict animal welfare laws, it beggars belief that this will be allowed to start up! Scotland, UK
It is scary for me to think that the tank is so small looking. The horse did not seem to mind doing the driving. I have seen dogs do the same thing and also ponies, without anyone making them do the jumping.
What happened to going forward, not backward? This is one of those things that is gone for a reason. This is not natural or humane. That horse would never choose to do that of his own will without being forced to somehow. They may dive of their own will if they have been conditioned to expect punishment otherwise. And the pool is only 12 FEET DEEP? I hope this is stopped before it starts.
Disgusting. I hope to god that every single Animal Welfare org gets onto this and stops it from happening. Its animal cruelty to make a horse do that.
How can anyone condone such blatant abuse of a living feeling animal. No equine would ever choose to do this other than one in abject terror. YOu and this programme disgust me. I hope you get banned and the terrible diving thing stopped.
How any human being can find this entertaining is beyond me. I think it speaks volumes about the mentality of the people in agreement that this should be brought back. Where will it end. Evil act by sadistic people.
What's next, cock fighting and bear baiting? Whoever is responsible for this awful idea should be fired.
Amazing, can you the amount of training it would take to build the confidence of these horses. I don't see anything wrong with this at all. If it was harmful to the horse or it was stressing the horse "mentally" don't you think the horse wouldn't do it. Horses are amazing animals that can be capable of doing anything. This video just proved that.
