As you alluded to, both are done for entertainment – I won't even go into the lengths owners will go to in order to ensure an animal races, including superglue on cracked hooves, that is well documented – but the BBFC has no remit over horse racing and animal cruelty unless it is staged for a film! |
Thanks for explaining horse tripping Nos, I never new exactly how they done it. Sounds horrible and vile from your description .
