So you don't think there's an issue with the fact that something like this happens and most immediately cry foul towards Irad's tactics because one can easily imagine him doing that? I think that is the main point. Say it is clear cut that the horse spooked. The fact that a lot of individuals immediately assume Irad did it on purpose shows there is a problem with his riding style that sooner or later may unfortunately be devastating.
