And crops aren't very strong they would break before being hit hard enough to hurt the horse. I went through so many when I had Trigger. Any sport is dangerous. People and horses die fom competative jumping too.
NOT true actualy i was watching tv the other day and they were taking a lokk at all the crop and everything and they said that the kind of crop's that pro jockey's use do hit really hard whethter the horse has muscle or not its not fair how would you like it ????
