Joe Bloggs Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Speaking of consecutive strikes, anyone seen the video of Sir Mark flogging the horse teaching it to jump puddles? I'm not posting it, but its there, even on the front page of this mornings ''Express' in the UK, and it's going off on twitter. He's offered a feeble apology, but I fear it's going to escalate......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bloggs Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I see the BHA has opened an official inquiry into Marks whipping Chief. Did he raise his arm above shoulder height? 2YO the video, is it on VHS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to enable the anti-racing brigade fine but don't hijack this thread. As for the video being 2 years old - it seems it could be even older - the latest report I heard was it is a "few years old". So why does it suddenly re-emerge on social media now? I'll tell you why, it is a beat up by the anti-racing brigade who now know one of the greatest Olympic horseman ever is now a licensed race horse trainer in the UK.

If you want to enable that activity and give it air time then go for it. I'm sure both you and Joe Bloggs have done activity in the past while training that would be ammunition for the Anti-Racing Mob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 What it has to do with British Horseracing Association (BHA) escapes me. It is obvious the horse isn't a racehorse in training and it was taken BEFORE Todd became licensed to race horse. The latest news says it was years before he became licensed.

You miss the point @nomates - the Anti-Racing mob don't consider ANY horse racing as acceptable. If you can honestly say that you have never ever whipped a horse or even used a twitch in your entire training career then I'm sorry I don't believe you.

So you've never ever done anything in training a horse that would be considered unacceptable to the Anti-Racing mob? Putting aside that they think you shouldn't exist full stop.

As i thought , you are not big enough and too ignorant to know when you have overstepped the mark . What you don't get is the video was in all probability not even posted an anti racing person but a horse lover , someone who cares about horses , as i am , has nothing to do with racing , that is your agenda . You can post a picture of Mark Todd jumping a fence to show what he has accomplished but unfortunately for him all he has achieved has been undone by 20 seconds of ugliness . You don't get it and are too ignorant to understand that others do . I will no longer be participating on the forum as i have had gutsful of your know all bullying attitude . Last person out turn the lights out , oh , that will be you . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bullshit. As I said in my first post the video was first posted on Social Media in 2019 - coincidentally the same year has Todd got a BHA license to train. Apparently the video was taken some time before 2019 - the latest news report says it is years old. Why the sudden re-emergence? What's more why the concerted notification of all the news outlets in unison? A lone horse lover? Yeah na. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't undone anything for me. In my mind he is still an incredible horseman - an all time equestrian and Olympic great. He can train racehorses too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ignorant of the fact that there isn't a horse trainer in existence that hasn't done something at some stage that would garner the same reaction as this latest video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 48 hours and it will be out of the news. The only organisation that has any jurisdiction over Todd is the BHA and this incident happened before he was licensed to them and doesn't appear to involve a racehorse. Oh the irony! If Todd is getting hung out to dry for this video then why not when he did this? Or this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
