Books with Spirit – Joyfulness between horses and people

Today, in a meeting in Lausanne, the FEI announced their decision that Rollkur and all other forms of aggressive riding is absolutely unacceptable and will be sanctioned from now on.  They said specifically that Rollkur and hyperflexion IS aggressive riding and they said specifically that Rollkur is absolutely unacceptable.

The decision was unanimous. 

41,000 signatures were on Gerd Heuschman’s petition presented to Princess Haya – what a great effort! 

Well done everyone, Power to the People.  Power to the Horse. 

There may well be some wounds to heal from such a vigorous campaign with very strong opinions on both sides.

Watch this space for news about a lovely and very exciting collaborative project that will harness all that energy into something wonderful and positive.

Congratulations everyone!
