Not big, not clever.Adge, I'll be more than happy to have you as my guest for next Palio, to make you sure that the horses are considered the most important element of this tradition. We make sure that nothing happens to them, and they are generally kept away from any sort of danger, except the ones that are part of any horse race.

That's another matter.Do you honestly think naturally skittish horses arent enduring their personal hell in all that melee. Regardless of physical injury, they will be terrified. Is that acceptable. It's not ok to cause mental suffering as long as no physical injury is done. Cruelty is cruelty, animal abuse is animal abuse. Enough is enough.

Enough is enough.Adge, the horses you see there, come from a special breed that's been created specifically for the Palio. They are raised to be at ease in those situations, and had you ever been there at least once, you'd agree with me. There's nothing cruel, I can assure you. But you can keep your opinion obviously. I'd like to point out once again that you have a very very limited knowledge that comes only from videos. Please at least show some respect and do not judge.
I can still smell and taste the shark.
This is a first for me ....... I'm used to there being a fight at a piss up between people who are actually there ......
Adgeseriously puntering someone for their culture is shitty. You may disagree with it but they way you have come across in those posts is very intolerant. You seem to of ignored what nibs has said and just ranted for the sake of it.
Adge i'm quite sure i speak for most people when i say this, you're a knobhead
i'm quite sure i speak for most people
Bate this fucker please......

I had just signed in to award Nibs a wad point to restore his karmic balance. Shant do that right now. It'd now feel like a climbdown, rather than good faith & a goodwill gesture to Nibs.
lol
