Horseback Riding

I am shocked and horrified that The Times would be so irresponsible as to glorify such an inhumane, barbaric practice as a child or a man in cowboy boots jumping up and down on a [pony’s] rib cage while twirling a lasso. (“History’s Gait Keepers,” June 1).
Tradition be damned! It once was traditional to offer human sacrifices to the gods.
Where is the outcry against such blatant animal cruelty? Anyone with half a brain knows that jumping up and down in boots on a horse’s rib cage has to injure that animal. This is not culture; this is cruelty. It’s time to put a stop to this subhuman behavior.
