From looking at the photo: The towers seems to be real, the horse and jockey look artificial. BTW: how do you get a horse to do the stunt? The only possibility is brute force!

Supposedly the horses enjoyed it, in the end the horses jumped alone, without rider and no force applied.

I did some research after I cast the (wrong) vote.
These activities took place for decades and were stopped not only, but also because of concern for the horses. But the story goes that a few jockeys were injured in all those years, but never an animal.

That´s what I heard, too.

saw some clips of this on reddit the other day

What a stupid "sport"!

did you mean to unfollow me after this interaction? xD

No, I didn´t mean the sport of reddit clip watching :)

I meant this :P

oh, how strange, I for sure didn´t unfollow you intentially, thanks for letting me know! Maybe a misclick.

Agreed 💯 ... Stupid sport!

Sounds to crazy to not be true 😅

I thought the same way!😅

Great minds think alike ;)

It's so idiotic that it must be real.

think I saw this long ago, and yeh it's fucking insane that they kept this "sport" up for sooo long...

How animals are trained to do sports like this always surprises me, do people make money betting on this one too?

I don´t think so, they just paid for watching the spectacle.

That is insane. But it is not as insane as one scene I saw in a movie. Someone paid to watch two people fight to death. It is crazy what most people spend their money on.
