    That horse is terrified. He's freaking out because she's having a meltdown and giving him way too many signals at once, he has no idea what he's actually supposed to do. The fact that he's being beaten constantly and hasn't thrown her off just shows what a patient horse that is. They should have never allowed them to go into the parkour like that. What happened there was absolutely disgusting and I hope they all get charged with animal abuse.

      right because if youre pulling the reins and kicking/hitting the horse at the same time it's really confusing the horse and thats why he kept backing up. he was confused that he wasnt being sent the right signals.

      I completely and utterly agree. I was about to say almost all the same words, until I saw your comment. She even looked like she had spurs on too. She didnt even try to give him a second or try and give him a little rein. She was having a meltdown just because a normal horse refused a jump, which is obviously completely normal. But the way she tried to handle it, was terrible. I know she was nervous, but she should have taking a deep breath, and stopped snacking him as hard as she could. She is so lucky she has a sweet horse that didnt rear or buck her off, because he has every right too if she is going to ride him like that. Kicking, yanking and smacking isnt going to help whatsoever, it's just going to make it worse. Pulling hard on the reins can cause the horse the horse to not trust you or a habit of head tossing. Hopefully that horse never let's that rider back on him before she learns how to ride better.

    To all the people commenting how she isn‘t a bad person, yes, she is. In the interviews following the incident she blamed everything on the horse and in one article, she stated that what she did „wasn‘t abuse because her whip and spurs had been safety checked by the committee“. That‘s like saying „I had my car checked recently, the child I just ran over can’t be dead.“
    Taking your frustrations out on your horse is abuse. End of discussion, stop trying to make up excuses for Annika Schleu, Kim Reisner or the olympic committee. Pentathlon is a sport that is fucked up to the absolute core.

      The sport was created by Pierre de Coubertin in 1912 to demonstrate the world's most well-rounded athlete. They are very good at the other four events, especially fencing. However, the UIPM failed pentathletes by making it too easy to get a good score in riding. If your goal is to maximize points, why spend so much time doing something that won't improve your score? It's a shame what happened, but this should've been corrected decades ago. Now the sport might not be in the Olympics after '24.

And prior to the beginning of the video (as they were in the warm up ring) Annika also had a hard time with Saint Boy as he looked petrified to go over any of the jumps. And the rider that rode Saint Boy before Annika ALSO had problems with him because he kept refusing… This poor horse, I hope Saint Boy feels better soon. Annika could’ve gone down in history a hero, as someone who is against animal abuse. But instead she is now known as an abuser.

    We should start allowing horses to say no more often. This horse was clearly saying no but she kept going because the human ego can’t stand being told no. She’s not tough or a trooper for continuing on- she didn’t just make the decision to continue for herself, but made the decision for a clearly distressed horse as well. When you ride a horse you speak for both of you; you have to listen and give the horse a voice because they can’t speak for themselves. Yet she said “I want to keep going so the horse has to as well.” But I can’t completely blame her. People are often praised for putting their ego and wants over the horse’s mental (and sometimes even physical) well-being (Good job showing that horse who’s boss! Tell that naughty horse to get on! Etc.)

    he was already terrified, she pushed him (very disrespectfully) and he agreed to go anyway, despite being in clear distress. he indeed is a saint.
    maybe if she had followed him well over the fences, and chosen the right distances, he would even have finished the course. but man, he clearly hurt his back on the second one, any horse could be scared after a jump like that. yet, he gave her another chance and kept going anyway, and then her curve line to the fifth was shit and she got the wrong distance. so the poor horse hurt himself again, and probably got scared when he touched the poles, and that was it.
    that's how you ruin a fine horse who respects fences so well: not going along with them along the jumps, which hurts the mouth and back, and getting the distances wrong which puts them in major difficulty (or even danger). no wonder he refused the next jump, and the one after that. that was actually smart of him not to jump in such conditions, as to not hurt himself again.
    jumping shouldn't be part of the pentathlon. it's ridiculous to see riders draw horses at random and jump them like that. not everyone can jump every horse, even if the course is small as it is here. you need to know them well enough as to ask them things properly and not cause them pain. there needs to be trust and experience. which isn't possible with random horses and random riders. plus, if the horse already had a bad experience previously, it's stupid to ask him to go again. you need to work on these issues quietly at home, not in a competition arena. poor animals... the people who designed this trial definitely didn't think about how they'd feel.

      ​@@oldageisdumb your answer is precisely why i recommended those readings. because the riding we've been taught for decades, and the riding we've been doing often lacks all this recent knowledge about basic horse behavior.
      sure, you can ride, you probably ride well, i'm not questioning that. but if you'd read recent research, you wouldn't say the horse is "pissed" when his whole body language is suggesting he's scared and in maybe in pain.
      thankfully, scientists, pro riders and instructors are more and more aware of these things as time goes and science progresses. even those who have ridden for decades can make mistakes when analyzing a horse's behavioral issues. it's okay, we weren't taught properly. but the resources are now available and easily accessible.
      horses depend on us, we have a responsibility to educate ourselves about their most basic expressions of discomfort.

    Numerous riders struggled to control their horses during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics' pentathlon, and for good reason: *they were strangers until being assigned to each other right before the event.*
    German Olympic Sports Federation president Alfons Hoermann slammed the rules barring rider-horse bonding in a press conference on Saturday. According to a translation from The Guardian, Hoermann said the international equestrian rules require an "urgent overhaul."
    "The numerous occasions at the competition yesterday, from literally the first to the last rider, are, we believe, unacceptable," Hoermann said. "They endanger animal welfare and therefore damage the reputation of the sport and the sports men and women."
    Germany, Hoermann's home country, was directly involved in the Olympic pentathlon drama. Saint Boy refused to jump, causing Schleu, the medal contender in the Olympic event, to burst into tears and finish 31st. *Earlier in the competition, Saint Boy refused to allow the Russian Olympic Committee's Gulnaz Gubaydullina to ride him.*

    Horses earn their name. My first horses name was Outlaw...there was a reason for that. He was the first horse in 6 years of riding that taught me fear. Horses sometimes need to be checked and reguided, yes...but not beat. Period. She had a meltdown and gave that horse 20 different commands. The sweat and foam on that horse before the camera was panned over tells me that something was wrong way before he refused and knocked poles down. No medal is worth beating and confusing an animal into pure terror. That horse is worth his weight in gold. He did not make her look like a fool.. she did that all on her own. That horse literally has the patience of a saint. I have been kicked and bucked by horses simply for telling them no. Saint Boys earns his name a million times over and more.

    Was für ein Desaster!
    Das arme Pferd zeigt deutliche Stresssymptome,schwitzt,ist nervös...Verweigert Sprünge...
    Was für eine schlechte Reaktion von der Reiterin 😠!
    Egal ob Olympia oder sonst was...
    Sie hätte abbrechen müssen!
    Poor horse 😥

      finde ich auch! man sieht von anfang an, dass das pferd darauf überhaupt keine lust hat, total am ende seiner kräfte ist vom kampf vor dem sprungantritt....ich finde die reaktion auch von den ausrichtern sehr spät. die glocke hätte noch vor dem antritt läuten sollen. sowas hätte ich mir als ausrichter/ kommentator, what ever nicht ansehen können. die reaktion aller menschen finde ich hier mehr als fragwürdig! und die kuh auf dem pferd hätte von mir eine saftige strafe bekommen, plus disqualifikation der gesamten olympischen spiele... knallhart, damit diese leute es lernen und ein verbot je wieder daran teilnehmen zu dürfen. sie als reiterin- einfach nur lächerlich! eine schande des reitsports... vor allem ihr dummes rumgeheule... ein fall für den kindergarten. ich finde das war eine reine zirkusnummer ihrerseits plus tierquälerei.

    That horse only has patience because that’s probably the horse that she’s trained on for years. The horse is obviously used to it, (considering he didn’t throw her off) and that makes me nauseous to even say but it’s true. That poor horse has most likely never known better, and it’s absolutely devastating.

    • @n0odles86
      @n0odles86 ปีที่แล้ว

      You know zero about the sport, then. The horses are picked by lots; it's totally random and you don't get to ride before you go in the ring. Also, Anna rides twice a month. Pentathlon athletes barely spend any time in the saddle.

    The horse did so well considering his rider is beating him and the trainer is hitting his rump. In my opinion Anikka’s reins are a little short. The commentator needs to speak out about how badly she’s handling this

    For y’all who don’t know, saint boy was “ill”, he wasn’t healthy and her actions was definitely not acceptable. She gave him multiple wrong signals and her meltdown shows that she should not be competing, this is definitely not saint boy’s fault

  • @jumpingnellie.x
    @jumpingnellie.x ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What is she doing! You can tell Saint Boy is clearly distressed and confused by the mixed signals she’s giving him. When she was approaching that double she was pulling all over face instead of giving him his head and letting him take her to the jump.

    Imagine being a 34 year old and not knowing how to treat a horse when you’re emotional. I’m sorry but women you are old enough to know better. I also read in an article she doesn’t know what animal cruelty is. No wonder why. I hope saint the horse is in a better place ❤

    She's giving him literal mixed signals. Kicking and hitting him and pulling on the reins at the same time- he's confused! And you can see he's in pain. Tail swishing, whites of his eyes showing, ears pinned back, open and foaming mouth... on top of that he's scared! I'm surprised he handled some jumps so well, but then he said "I'm done with whatever shit you got going on here" and started refusing. Maybe if she calmed down and stopped giving mixed signals it could have gone a little better but she was nervous and probably crying. Saint Boy really is a saint. Like this is just horse abuse.
