Horseless Horse Shows
The latest phenomenon sweeping the world of equestrian competitions is the Horseless Horse Show. They're just like regular horse shows, with riders going around a course completing jumps, but without any horses involved. Participants, whose ages range from 3 to adult, take the shows pretty seriously. They train hard for them. A judge of one of the shows says, "We judge them just like horses." [wsj.com]

Kids running around playing "horsie" is natural. We've all done it, I suppose. Kids competing in running and jumping is natural too. But, this silliness goes beyond the pale. The really, really bad bit is where the parents seem to be encouraging it!

Politically correct B.S. of the first order!
No Horses = NOT a Horse Show.
Humans jumping over stuff is part of a Track Meet.
How about a false advertising claim. :coolmad:

I can just hear Mr. Ed moaning about horses being unemployed because humans are stealing their jobs.
