Endurance is so one dimensional. Was in and around the sport for years you want to talk cruel a horse who's is mentally shutting down at a vet check on a 100 mile ride. That's cruel, the sport is slowly disappearing

This is really interesting (and sad to hear). As an outsider I thought the sport was pretty neutral as we always hear how horses can naturally travel long distances etc. I’m interested to hear more of the possible negative aspects of the sport as I’ve never come across this opinion before. Thanks
