Animals shouldn't be part of any sport.

cool

Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway

unhinged

I don't agree that sports are for spoiled fucks, but dressage definitely is. The barrier to entry makes golf look egalitarian.

The barrier to entry

to be fair, this barrier mostly comes from the necessity to involve a horse in the routine, so if the olympics starts allowing pantomime horses as a replacement we're in business

I would actually watch dressage if it only had pantomime horses.

Or other animals. I don't see why you can't bring any animal you want to the animal dance. Yeah sure like maybe an alligator won't make a very good dancer, but why would somebody bring a partner that has no chance of winning?
