I think there is one important distinction here. We are not talking about people's experiences, keeping control of a dangerous animal, discipline, or anything of the like -- we are talking about this specific case. In addition, we are not talking about whether or not it hurt the horse.

This is disgusting and deplorable behavior.

Eric,
OK...you're right. I took a "specific case" and personalized it.
There's no reason to "hurt" a horse. Heck, there's only about four seconds to get the message across. Beyond that, my guess is that they missed the connection with their action, and the human's reaction.
Just my 2 pennies worth.

Agreed. He deserves whatever fines he's got coming towards him.
