This is a beautiful, sweet-tempered, charismatic young stallion and he is being abused! I am appalled at the complete lack of awareness of the judges as to his heavy-handed treatment by this so-called trainer, Giacomo Capaci. There is a small snaffle bit in his mouth and numerous times the "trainer"? severely yanked on his mouth to make him pose like he was a stone statue. What is wrong with the Arabian horse world that people would subject these beautiful creatures to constant abuse? There is no reason to yank on, whip, or intimidate in any way an Arabian horse. They are so intelligent and willing and with proper patient and gentle training, they will do whatever you ask them to do. These judges should be banned and this handler fined for his abusive treatment of this magnificent horse. Shame on all of them. It's so sad! Horses are not statues. Stop making them pose like them!
