Understand there's a school of thought in the IOC that would gladly get rid of horse 'sports'. Most people give zero shits about watching it, and they're hugely expensive, take loads of resource and space, and lay them open to animal abuse accusations (see also the horse-puncher in the last Olympics). Balanced against the fact that loads of IOC members are privileged fucks who are still pissed that they no longer have Olympic pistol duelling and live pigeon shooting (both real former events).
It'd be lovely if this cruel, nasty twat helped bring down the whole sport as an Olympic event tho.
