Why do they have to use the whip at all? They say horses love to race???? I wonder if the Jockeys had a taste of it would they like it!
Horses are exploited STOP whipping!!

I agree with the RSPCA that Cory Brown used his whip on Shocking inappropriately. He clearly whipped the horse after the race was over. It was inappropriate and my husband and I were disgusted.

In response to R Hilditch. How Come the horse did not react ??? Because it had just been whipped all the way to the winning post - that's How Come !!!

Corey Brown was overjoyed and clearly showed his affection and pride for his horse. Did the horse flinch or rear up, if he was hit as hard as the RSPCA how come the horse did not react????
