tbh some horses need to be punched....my ex rode a nightmare of a horse ..threw him many times despite schooling ..until one day he just punched him.....it kinda worked. Don't do this at home kids..plus he only did it once
Anyoe who thinks a human can hurt a horse by punching it needs to go out and spend a day on a farm. They weigh 500kg vs Davys 65kg. Ill put it this way, no matter how hard your 3 year old child tries to punch you he wont be able to hurt you. A flyweight boxer might be 50% of the weight of a heavyweight and he wont be able to hurt him. Sting him maybe but nothing more. Animal rights people dont have a clue about animals.
I've worked in horse racing I've seen horses punched kicked and one jockey back in the 1970s (famous) hit a horse between the ears with a whip cruelty these people aren't horse people no patience there rubbish that's putting it lightly
