Hunting in Spain, on horseback, with dogs –
This link is to a Spanish hunting federation. Whilst I curse every breath these men and women take, if you watch the video, you will see what hunting with galgos is all about. Not only does a hare have to run for its life, but the bloody hunters riding horses….knacker the horses’ feet and legs on the hard ground – the horses will feel so much pain after the gallop and they are probably lame for weeks, if not permanently. More horse meat for the Italian market? (Apologies to my Italian readers, but where else will the knackered horses go?) Hey, and you horse riders like me, what sort of crap riding seat has this woman hunter?!! Seat too far back on the saddle, so pressure on the horse’s kidneys, legs too short for a gallop, toes pointing forward, not sitting balanced in the centre of the saddle……grrrrrr – crap rider.
