Horses and human beings have been connected by a special relationship for over 5000 years. Besides their obvious uses in battle, as means of transport, a source of food, and as working animals, horses have always played an important part in the ancient myths of human culture. Unfortunately, the joy horses bring to equestrians of our time gets diminished through violent behavior with horses. Some that result in blood traces out of the horses' mouths. Injuries displayed during world class riding competitions caused through torture tools that can stab, pressurize, slice and suffocate a horse, lead global regulators to discuss but not put any stop to the torture. Instead they debate how much blood may be allowed before disqualifying a contestant.
