Olympia: "Bist!" Horse drama strikes high wave

The discussion about the horse drama in the modern pulp, athlete Annika Schleu and the trainer Kim Raisner excluded from the Olympic Games continues.

Raisner has now given the welt an interview. In it she has defended her action, but admitted mistakes in her word choice. "Of course, I call on that as a rider, she uses the possibilities she has, and with the helps that are there, trying to get the horse out of this corner," says Raisner.

"If you want to ride a horse forward, then you have to leave the reins loose, what Annika has made, and skin on the back. But you do not beat his horse. It was a device."

In retrospect, "you may say that was too harsh. I know, even this pat on the butt, who would not have to be, but that was not doll," says Raisner. "But that it is now illustrated so that horses are treated in general so, that's not true. I'm far from tormenting animals. I love animals, I love horses, as well as Annika. We do not pure our horses."

Raisner: "From Mitstuck to Animal Talker"

However, Raisner is not against the practice of riding for competitions foreign horses: "I know that this leads again and again to discussions, on a strange horse, but that brings with this sport, that makes our sport. At Olympia does the look at Olympia All the world too and then is always very fast over a whole sport. "
