There have been previous threads about the disgusting video showing Kittel in the warm up ring employing Rollkur ( hyper flexion)techniques. Please see below---from the Classical Riding Club, and please sign the petition:
Dear Member
The FEI investigation regarding the “Blue Tongue World Cup Video” has concluded that there is no reliable evidence that the warm-up techniques used by Mr Kittel were excessive. Following this decision a Round Table meeting has been arranged to take place on 9th February 2010 at the FEI headquarters in Lausanna.
The petition to request the FEI to ban Hyperflexion in Competition now has over 7000 signatures and these will be presented at the meeting. Before the petition is published ready to be taken we would like to encourage anyone who hasn’t already added their signature to do so now. Please encourage all non-horsey friends to do so also. The more signatures on the petition the more the FEI will have to take note.
Just bumping this up so more people will see it and hopefully sign the petition. I would have thought this was a petition everyone would want to sign---certainly anyone who has any idea how to ride in harmony with the horse, and surely anyone would be horrified at the torture inflicted on this horse, and, sadly, many more like him, in the name of sport. In case you haven't seen it before, here is the video
Remember the blue tongue video?
